We could probably write a hook for some of the simpler ones, but we would have quite a few false negatives, I suspect. FWIW, I am not finding these portability problems by hand. I am nightly auto-building and testing Junio's maint, master, and next on Solaris 8 and FreeBSD, and Mike Ralphson is doing the same for AIX. So while we could perhaps catch them sooner, I am very happy to have caught several issues recently in next, _before_ they hit master. -Peff -- 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
