fine and dandy. however, i personally would prefer to see changes to a particular file to be all in the same thread, if that's the only file affected by a commit. i prefer to *not* have to scan all over my mail to collect them into one place when i want to review them sequentially. having the rev number in the subject line is an advantage when you look for changes by revision. it is a *disadvantage* when you're looking for things by module or topic. so put the rev number into the body of the message, but please remove it from the subject line. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!"
