Im sorry, but that was a total misunderstanding. You said git-splitter is like git-subtree but adds a command for reversing the process. My question was: What kept you from adding that to git-subtree (rather than redoing stiff that git-subtree does)? I just assumed that reversing the process of splitting must be joining. It may very well be that git-splitter does things differently, i.e. that there are more differences than just added functionality (compared to git-subtree), but that is not clear from the announcement. >>> The code is hosted on GitHub: >>> <https://github.com/operasoftware/git-splitter> >>> >>> We have announced the release as part of another announcement of >>> released >>> code at the Opera Security Group home page: >>> <http://my.opera.com/securitygroup/blog/2012/12/18/tls-prober-source-released-under-apache-2-0-license> >>> > > -- 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
