Well we should have some notion of clean state. That could be handled in more than one way. We could just ignore it, or compare the copy with the content of the link target. The first is good enough for a proof-of concept, but perhaps not as a solution since we don't have good other means to check that the copy is stale. -- robin -- 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
