Thanks for the clarification :-) So how do you revert WC changes? At least I got the SVN part right -- which is not surprising because that's the one I actually use. Oh, and monotone uses 'revert' for the WC meaning too (the other one does not really make much sense to me, but so does git as a whole) (You can't be serious that for reverting a WC file to the repository state you use "git checkout"?) -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
