	Hi,

I received the email below, showing a _full_ (i.e. every single line) diff
between the old and the new version:

At first I thought the new version had CR/LF line endings or so, but that
isn't the case.

Just using

| anakin$ git show 44bafdf37b30234671d4e2fb595dea4c3717d089 | diffstat
|  serial167.c | 3322 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------------
|  1 file changed, 1645 insertions(+), 1677 deletions(-)
| anakin$

shows that far from all lines were changed.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
