1) Not wanting to do something on every build is not a reason to not automate that something. 2) No network traffic at all is needed to check whether the correct version of a repository has been checked out. The build must not proceed if that isn't the case. (It is then a matter of style whether the situation is automatically rectified or the fix is left to a manual recovery and restart.) Gr??e, Carsten
