Good design is not when there's nothing more to add, it's when there's nothing left _to remove_. Git is what it is thanks to removing superfluous crud from its core datamodel.

No need to mess with the secret of git's success (the tight datamodel). cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
