Thanks for your detailed email. Before I continue digesting it, I'd like to revise my original proposal (having now read the more of the 'design philosophy'): - I want to tell git that object A is related to object B between two trees.

I'll try get back with that before end of the month. regards, -- Paul Jakma paul@clubi.ie paul@jakma.org Key ID: 64A2FF6A Fortune: we just switched to Sprint.
