Of course. My proposed commands still accept a revision argument, (they just defaulted to HEAD when one was not provided). > I really feel I should slow down and stop responding for now, Yeah, me too. I've made enough noise for now. I'll spend more time using things before proposing anything else, and come back with something more concrete (== patches) next time instead of just lots of talk. Anyway, thanks again for the time. And sorry for the distraction. No reply necessary from this one. :-) -Carl PS. Thanks for the several examples. That's more good training for me, (the operations here provide a lot of help for things I've always had to do much more manually with things like CVS). And that's also more content for tutorials, (and yes, I did mean to sound like I would like to help generate some of those---I've got some people I'm trying to convince to switch to git right now, and they'll need some training). --pgp-sign-Multipart_Thu_Feb__9_19:17:53_2006-1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBD7AXs6JDdNq8qSWgRAvhdAJ9CKX9MY7kWe6EGLr6TwBX5e2WLIgCggT50 lahAds0XGRAlYZ4kwL9Pyhs= =DBsR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pgp-sign-Multipart_Thu_Feb__9_19:17:53_2006-1--
