We still have the case of the "casual" user, who does not know much about git, but installs it to clone & review a project's code. There, if v1.4.4 complains with a useful message, the casual user will swear a bit and grab a backport. If it dies a horrible uninformative death, then we will get bogus bug reports, flamage, the works. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- 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
