That did it, exactly (finding, in fact, only two commits: The one that added the symbol, and the one I was looking for, the one that removed it). I was unwares of =E2=80=98-S=E2=80=99 because git-log(1) for v1.5.2.5 did not list it (albeit it seems to exist). Consulting the v1.5.5 documentation, it's listed. Thanks to whoever fixed/updated the documentation. cheers! -blf- --=20 =E2=80=9CHow many surrealists does it take to | Brian Foster change a lightbulb? Three.
