I find it useful to track what I've sent to you just in case I screw up some ref somewhere. I like knowing that if I perform a bad update-ref call (which I'm prone to do sometimes) that I can recover quickly as the log exists. Not having that prior ref value was about the only area of `possible data loss' that I've every really noticed with GIT. Well, that and only having one repository holding all of your important files and you rm -rf the dang directory by accident one day... but that's just foolishness on the user's part. :-) > - using ~/.gitrc to give a fall-back default when > $GIT_DIR/config does not have values. > > - command aliases and possibly default arguments via the > configuration file. I'm certainly interested in these two - and I don't think I'm alone when I say that. :-) -- Shawn.
