Yep, that seems to work just fine. All the maintainers should have gotten an email notifying them of the pull request? Note: If you follow the instructions in the email you get from the pull request, you will pull the changes directly in to whatever branch you are currently working on, so it might be best to check out a new branch just for the purpose of dealing with the pull request (as mentioned above) first. -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
