LOL! Yeah, i think most of us are just happy someone sent a patch. Others will tell you, "won't accept until spaces are replaced with tabs" (serious - happened recently), at which point i give up (i don't have the energy for people who get difficult over invisible glyphs). > Not sure what I would do if I were actually running an open source project. > i think it depends on the project. sqlite, for example, has exceedingly high stability requirements due to its "unusually wide" footprint in terms of installations and platforms. They are necessarily quite choosy. Likewise, i am choosier about what changes i make to fossil than those i throw into my own repos, because people actually use Fossil to get stuff done. Head over to one of my repos, though, and you'll likely see lots of commits which "stable" projects wouldn't like to include. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
