This command fetches the source from the development repo. Sometimes a user will want that, but sometimes a user will want to look at or edit the source of the current release of the package. Let's keep these two issues separate: 1) To see the package source files in a repo to edit them. 2) Which version to use. In other words, there should be a command to check out the current version sources, and a command to check out the development version sources. Or maybe one command that can do either of those two. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
