I actually noticed this when I poked around the box that does the nightly snapshots, and wondered for a few minutes why I never switched it over to git:// last time I poked at that script. Then it came back to me: rsync -q worked better than redirecting git to /dev/null - git-clone's -q was still outputting some stuff, so recloning each time the cronjob ran wasn't an option, - subsequent git pull's were noisy too When run from a cronjob, unless something fatal happens, I basically never want to get mail from the snapshotting script. > - junio re-bases his "pu" branch, and I just end up following him (I > should stop exporting git entirely, here's no point, really). I just updated the snapshot script to pull from http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ instead. thanks, Dave -- http://www.codemonkey.org.uk
