Taking the dist value from the branch name is "magical" in the sense that it imposes a new interpretation on an existing datum. Taking it from a file in the working tree designated for that specific purpose (which I suppose should really be named "dist", not "branch") is not. I believe taking it from the git configuration file is an abuse of the git configuration file, as I said in reply to Tom. -- Matt -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
