Most of my time is spent working forward along one branch (different branches at different times, of course, but at any given moment I'm almost certainly only concerned about one branch), and having a different and advantageous localized naming scheme there is a benefit I celebrate. If most of my time were instead spent comparing and contrasting and intersecting and cross-breeding branches, it would probably be as worthless to me as it apparently is to you. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. - 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
