Yes, credentials remain valid. Repo has been re-initialized > Question.

I'm not too worried about the storage (yeah right - whatever - I'm paying so much for this hobby, what's a few extra TB of cloud data I pay for...). The thumbnail creation really is easy. I just don't know if this is what I want. I'm thinking of going back to just not storing images in git, period. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
