And your patch was a step in the right direction based on my previous patch. But sorry, you were shooting at a target that is still moving too fast, and you missed. It's not your fault, as even I did not know where it was heading to, but my plan has been to have the scripts parse the text output, as we would need more than true/false values, as I did in the four patch series I sent out tonight. - 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
