That's exactly what I meant when I said you can go on pretending that Bitkeeper doesn't exist. The fact that Linus and Marcelo (and a few of their close friends) chose to use that tool doesn't mean you have to too. You can still send in patches like you always did [1]. [1] If you ever did :) reminds me of that old joke, of a guy breaking his arm and getting a cast. He asks his doctor: "Doctor, when will I be able to play piano?", to which the doctor replies "I believe within two weeks". The guy exclaims: "that's great, I could never play piano before!". -- Nadav Har'El | Saturday, Sep 28 2002, 22 Tishri 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |A bird in the hand is safer than one http://nadav.harel.org.il |overhead. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
