And I'd also like to echo that call to not call it "gfi". Maybe it's just me, and maybe it's just because I'm a home-owner who does things like add in-wall ethernet cables, but to me, gfi is about an electrical outlet. So to me, gfi means "ground fault interrupter": the kind of outlet that breaks the circuit if there is current leaking to the ground pin. All your electrical outlets in "wet areas" (bathroom, kitchen within a certain distance of a sink, outside, near swimming pools etc) are supposed to be GFI's. I realize that there's not a lot of chance of confusion in the git world, but still. Linus
