But the risk is high, not because of the probability, but because of the cost to pay if it does not work out. Really, I'd rather have this be done right. So I am quite happy with Junio being "girly" (which I would have called cautious and nice-to-users, as well as considerate, though). In the end I would be so much happier not to have hard links at all, and it seems that all the "easy" SCMs out there are quite well off without hard links, too. To me, it is mighty annoying anybody brings up that "144 commands" argument Linus was referring to, and if there is _any_ way to shut up those bikeshedders, I am all for it. But if that is not possible, so be it. Ciao, Dscho
