Unlike a buggy music player (say), a buggy git could destroy everything up to your last backup. I appreciate all the work everyone in the community is currently doing on stabilisation. -- cheers, dave tweed__________________________ david.tweed@gmail.com Rm 124, School of Systems Engineering, University of Reading.
