Ingo, he promised this if the bitkeeper logging went down for a period of time or if bitkeeper were to go out of buisness. He did not promise this just because we use it for kernel development for 1-2 years, are you out of your mind? :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
