If I look at your patch-series which consists of oneliner documentation nitpicking, I don't even want to imagine how much these would get blown up by a web-based bug-tracker. The web-based is the second part: When working on/with *git*, a command-line tool, I naturally work in a terminal, and I *don't* want to fire up a webbrowser to communicate something as simple as a bug. Also bug-trackers tend to attract all sorts of people who don't really think or try to find bugs before submitting them. Those sorts of people probably already file bugs for git and the distribution-maintainers then tell them to report the problem upstream (i.e.: here) or do it themselves. -- Johannes Gilger http://hackvalue.de/heipei/ GPG-Key: 0x42F6DE81 GPG-Fingerprint: BB49 F967 775E BB52 3A81 882C 58EE B178 42F6 DE81
