So although it is possible to pack and re-pack at any time, perhaps we need some guidelines? Maybe Linus should just do a re-pack as each 2.6.x release is made (or perhaps just every 2.6.even release if that is too often). It has already been noted offlist that repositories hosted on kernel.org can just copy pack files from Linus (or even better hardlink them). -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
