The user. ;-) Apparently, too many people were confused by the local/remote branches distinctions, and even I ceased to like it gradually (BTW, Cogito still supports working with them - it just does not offer any interface for manipulation with them). The current scheme is much simpler and I believe more clear. Also, the forked repositories were not truly independent - people actually got burnt by forking and then removing the original repository. If this breaks your workflow, could you please describe it? Perhaps we could find a good semantics to support both. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ C++: an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog. -- Steve Taylor
