Felipe, I'm trying to help. If you think my review lacked context, you can write me a paragraph/ link me to an email and I will read it. It's not reviewers and submitters "attacking" each other. It's helping out other rational people in the community because you care for their reviews. Don't practice exclusivity and label some people as "not eligible to review". That's not a good way to develop. > Bazaar is a dead project, and there are *real* users suffering as we > speak, bound to eternal SCM torment by evil dictators and political > non-speak.

No Felipe, I don't use bzr. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
