I have no wish to fully exploit the flexibility of git. I understand it is useful for those doing more complex things -- but, for me, it is not merely useless, it is a screw. (If it were merely useless to me, I would not complain about it.) Bzr has more or less the same flexibility as Git, and yet it has a simple mode of operation which doesn't create this problem. Surely Git can have one too. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way! See stallman.org/skype.html.
