In case one of my other mails didn't arrive, the Git version is 1.7.8. There is no session transcript because I use TortoiseGit and I'm not going to add a screencast here. > Gmane is a mailing list viewer and there /only/ is the real maling > list.

Starting from git-scm.com, the only support site is a mailing list, and the hyperlink on that word sends me to Gman= e which says I am in a newsgroup called "gmane.comp.version-control.git". Since I don't have access to the news system, I need to use the Gmane website. I don't know exactly what it is. I know mailing lists, but tha= t doesn't look like one at all. There's not even a subscription page or address. For users of the modern web who are not familiar with 70s nntp technology and cannot use a mailing list by merely knowing its address, this is very support-unfriendly. I almost would have considered that th= e official Git website doesn't want to offer any support at all. In that case I would likely have searched for an alternative and switched right away. Assuming I could have extracted the remainders of my source code from the broken Git repository. So am I now subscribed to that "git@vger.kernel.org" mailing list and d= o my posts show up there? I have no idea what's going on, neither in my repository, nor in this mailing list. Confusing and intransparent. --=20 Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" Visit my web laboratory at http://beta.unclassified.de
