Very good then. It is from when I was significantly less experienced in using git and managing repos, so I may have forgotten to use the correct options OR it could just have been the version of git I was using (1.4.4.4, IIRC) -- still using that in at least one place, as it is the current version in Debian Etch. It's good to know it works properly now, if all the right switches are set. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
