When I download something from the internet I have no idea about copyright or even who wrote it. It would require going the way of having the author or authors sign a form (on paper, email won't do!). That gets messy. 2. With an emailed diff we both know (the sender and I) what I'm including exactly. When pulling from some repository I never know what state the change is in. I sometimes get an email with "try now", but it's not clear what "now" is. The current method worked very well for me, I don't see a reason to change. Note that if people want to distribute (experimental) patches to share with other users, then using something like github works very well. -- Never overestimate a man's ability to underestimate a woman. /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
