So _your_ point is? 8) Note: I'm _not_ arguing with your sentiments towards CVS. However, I think the space usage point still stands. What is the space usage behaviour when you have multiple git trees? Do we need a git relink command in git-pasky? 8) -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core - 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/
