But I recall that this area has been changed several times. One thread I found here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/62472 See also the commit message of 77cb17e940, which introduces exec_cmd.*. But probably the points raised there are already moot, and your change is good. -- Hannes -- 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
