One thing that's been nagging me is how you actually find out the url+number where the desired revision exists. That is, after you've synced with master, or merged the mothership's master-branch into one of your experimental branches where you've done some work that went before mothership's master's current tip, do you have to have access to the mothership's repo (as in, do you have to be online) to find out the number part of url+number shorthand, or can you determine it solely from what you have on your laptop? -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231
