Hi Tom All good points. One of the reasons I've not spent much time having branches per release is because script/plugin install - and git clone - default to master, so changing to anything else is more of a hassle.
But, that said, maybe I should have a clear 0.9.8 branch - which at this point is a mirror of master - as well as a development branch, for edge stuff. I shall give it some thought :) Cheers -- Pat On 30/01/2009, at 10:03 PM, Tom Davies wrote: > > Thanks Pat.
