Should I worry that someone out there is relying on the backup functionality, and that that person is going to install a new version of Coccinelle without looking at the list of changes? I could print a warning? Or only have no backup if there is a .git directory in the directory provided with the -dir option? Or make the change and hope for the best? julia _______________________________________________ Cocci mailing list [email protected] http://lists.diku.dk/mailman/listinfo/cocci (Web access from inside DIKUs LAN only)
