Just because you're an expert, doesn't mean you don't appreciate working without safety net. There are tons of people out there, who use Git for $REASONS (their boss told them so, it's cooler than $OTHERVCS, the project uses Git), without having the time to take a deep dive into Git. "It should just work". So I haven't tried Sitaram's script, but it looks like it can get your job done? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
