The only way in which "tracking" is not consistent is in that many people seem to be insisting that one cannot apply the idiom of tracking to ALL kinds of tracking that git does. Git tracks changes in CONTENT. It matters not where that content is. It does not track files, branches, nor repositories--those are mere containers of CONTENT that git tracks the changes of. Perhaps we need to make this more explicit in the documentation? -- -Drew Northup ________________________________________________ "As opposed to vegetable or mineral error?" -John Pescatore, SANS NewsBites Vol. 12 Num. 59 -- 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
