Actually I do, because they heard from me already ;-). If this were the case where our messages crossed, perhaps, but in this case yours was a response to my message. >> Again, please realize that on list discussion is a team effort to >> come up together a better design of a shared solution. > > Which is why agreement in a team with different minds and different > viewpoints is important. It is not like opinions on all points are important. Whether the exit code from merge-file is or is not a UI mistake does NOT have any influence on what we were discussing. My opinion is that exit code from merge-file is a UI mistake, but even if you disagree with that, that would not change the conclusion we already reached that the code should ignore its exit status, like you originally wrote. I am already trying to ignore your opinions on things that do not matter in the context of this project, as you told me earlier ;-) But just like patches, messages are written only once but read by many people, so I'd always aim for reducing noise at the source. Anyway, happy holidays and pleasant new year to you and to everybody.
