Actually, you should put that down to horribly bad interface tools. With BK, we had these nice tools that pointed out that there were files that you might want to commit (ie "bk citool"), and made this very obvious. Tools absolutely matter. And it will take time for us to build up that kind of helper infrastructure. So being newbie might be part of it, but it's the smaller part, I say. Rough interfaces is a big issue. Linus
