That primarily helped us get branches under control. We came from a CVS world and never had any branches, as none of us had time or energy to figure out how to merge them back together using those crippled scm's. I noticed Johannes Gilger already sent you the link to git-for-scientists thing which is also a really good aid, especially when you've read the tutorial and some of the less tech-oriented docs. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231
