We'll see.
That's not a decent rule. It wasn't used with pgrep. The old one moved, because the new pgrep is a popular command that Solaris and OpenBSD supply under the same name. > Later tonight (hopefully) I'll upload a new version of the package which > will include the "git" program, installed as "/usr/bin/gt".
