After all, if you changed that example with a script that feeds its input to a shell, you would have enough "shell access" to do anything you need. So... Well, my reaction at this point was "why bother?", but then I realized that that reaction is meant for the administrator of that hosting site, not a user of that site, i.e. you. Thanks for an amusing read, anyway. -- 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
