But I suspect neither of us has anything more than a gut feeling to argue with. And now I have registered my complaint, so you can do what you think is best. I can, of course, always make my own hardlinks (which is really the same thing, except the "trick" is slightly harder to perform and perhaps less socially acceptable; OTOH, if such a trick is common, perhaps it means taking away the dash forms wasn't such a good idea after all). > Newbie: Stupid inconsistency. Who suggested that? Jeff [runs git-blame]: It must have been Junio! :) -Peff
