Yes I was referring to 'that' revision number. But my comments were not specifically addressed for libcurl nor I intended to transmit that libcurl would loose something important without it, although it was usefull in detecting outdated serial numbers in *.m4 files. My comments were addressed at a more general usage of git, not libcurl related. > git is a developer's tool while it may not be that fancy and "user > friendly", using the hashes as references simplify a lot and make perfect > sense to me.

I find that GUIDs and/or hashes are not a matter of user unfriendliness, IMO they are simply human unfriendly. But as you say, it may be a matter of taste :-P -- -=[Yang]=- ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
