To take this in a slightly different direction, what exactly is the benefit of the new feature? Apparently my git doesn't have it enabled by default, and git works fine for me. Am I missing out on something that I should feel inferior about if my non-debian-etch running friends(*) found out about it? :) Have fun, Avery (*) Actually I compile my own git from source anyway. I never want to live without "git rebase -i" and "git add -p" ever again. Life is too short! :)
