Seems to have crashed, we don't know the cause yet. Is there anyone who is
dependent on this tonight? If so I'll drive down and fix it (yeah, very lame
of us, we moved it to a different rack which was too far away from our remote
power so I can't power cycle it remotely. Our bad.)

Let me know, if I don't hear from anyone we'll get it in about 14 hours. If
that's too long I'll understand, it's 20 minutes away and I can go deal.

Anyone who wants to have access to the history or any other functioning

Please don't pollute this list nor Larry with such comments.

All the kernel hackers who used BK for years and are still using it, I'd guess.

Lots of people do; those who use bitkeeper, and even people (like me) who
don't use it to manage source but still use the info at bkbits.net to
track what patches got merged etc.

Ohh and by the way, Larry doesn't deserve comments like that. He's done a
lot of hard work for everyone here (not to mention spent a lot of money)
and he's provided an excellent tool. He deserves gratitude and respect,
not childish BS like the above.

I agree wholeheartedly.

But... I think someone is trolling here.
I mean: who makes a spelling error in his own first name? ;-)

I don't think so: both `c' and `t' are (different) ASCII-transcripts of the
actual non-ASCII character that should have been there. Yes, UTF-8 to US-ASCII
is lossy and imprecise ;-)

Hi Geert,

There is now UTF there :-)

Both Marcin and Martin are the same name, the difference is that Marcin is
a Polish version - this is the correct spelling as far as Polish is concerned.

It is like John and Johann I guess; or Paul and Pavel (Pavel is Czech
here)

There are issues with names sometimes. eg. I can say that I am Maciej or
I can say I am Maciek. And it is perfectly fine. No spelling mistakes
there.

Regards,
Maciej

Actually "c" in Marcin is correct in that place.

If I'm not mistaken Marcin is from Poland (or his father, or ..)
and in the polish language if you want to write the "ch" sound
(ch as in check) you write a c with an apostrofe above it if the
following letter is not a, e, i, o, u. If it IS one of those you
write "ci" instead instead of "c with an apostrofe".

Ciemno (dark).
,
Cma (a type of bug).

So, no, his name was not spelled wrong :)

Same goes for a few other characters as well.

Pronounce his name and it becomes clear why. Mar (ch) in.
Ci is a LONG sound.
,
C is a short sound. So Marcin would be pronounced Mar (ch) n.

Compare saying Check or Chck. Same thing.
