Hmm? Remember, many distros ship with old versions of Git. Debian stable is now at 1.7.2.3 (Squeeze became Debian 6.0) and it'll take years before next release. What about these? Making previous versions refuse to work with empty trees isn't exactly trivial, as the tree parser seems to be written to be extremely liberal on what it accepts. -Ilari -- 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
