AFAIK there are no more open assertions related to that, but every now and then i'll run into a case which expects an RID>0 and might (until the first commit) see a 0. It can always be repaired when this happens, but triggering it can be cumbersome to do (i.e. there might eventually be some (now-invalid) assertions which eventually need to be patched for this). - Whether or not it should default to having no initial empty commit is debatable, but i can't argue strongly either way. i tend to think it should do one by default, solely for historical compatibility, but OTOH it's not a critical functionality (just an immediately-visible change for long-time users). -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
