Obviously it's not a general purpose porcelain and it's "deliberately not using" normal development practice because I do lots of loosely related speculative research rather than working on a well-defined "product". I was initially confused by what the index does (particularly since in those days it was often referred to as a cache) and so wrote the whole routines using low-level commands; if I was to do it again I'd have my script just call "git add" and then using the vanilla "git commit". -- cheers, dave tweed__________________________ david.tweed@gmail.com Rm 124, School of Systems Engineering, University of Reading.
