I don't know. I've sent 800 patches in the last three months (patches, not email comments), and you pick this one to reply to. Maybe because you enjoy insulting people? > This whole thread has been one long argument about totally pointless > things that wouldn't improve anything one way or the other. It's > bikeshedding of the worst kind. Just let it go. Why don't you ask Junio to let it go? If it's irrelevant, than it doesn't matter if this patch is applied or not. You say it's bike-shedding, that implies that Junio likes red, and I like blue, and both are equally useless. So let's go for blue then. Presumably Junio doesn't agree with you, he does truly think it should be red, in fact, he doesn't think it's just a color, it's something important, and I agree, and apparently other people in the mailing list also agree, as most of them have voiced their opinion that red is the color. Now, do you have something of value to say which of the two options should be, or are you just going to engage in double standards and personal attacks? If you truly think this is bikeshedding, at least be fair and complain about that to the people that argue for red, not just the ones that argue for blue. -- Felipe Contreras
