Hi Geir.

Perhaps it was unnecessary to name names.  This was 4 years ago.  :-)

Though I remember Brian Fitzpatrick doing a lightening talk at
ApacheCon 2004 about his favorite Subversion feature, "svn blame".
Someone else insisted on a parallel synonym "svn praise" and there was
also a more neutral "svn annotate", but fundamentally (according to
Brian) the premise behind the command is that it can be used to blame
the coder who broke the build on a particular revision.  :-)

Anyway, as far as I can tell, the change was just wrong.  The default
Texen properties file sets the key for the StringUtils reference to
"strings" and you changed the documented example VM file from
"$strings" to "$stringutils" (without changing the corresponding Texen
properties file).  What surprised me is that this is in the most
prominent (actually the only) example for Texen, yet there were no
complaints (that I saw) until recently.

cheers,
WILL

How did I break it?
