can one be sure that nobody else is using the repository? maybe nobody in debian, but what about our derivatives? or even our users if there is a strong need to remove those changes (e.g. for copyright reasons) I agree that a reset --hard is a reasonable option, but if it's just to keep the repo clean my personal preference would be for a ``git revert`` that doesn't break the repo for other users. -- Elena ``of Valhalla''
