My concern are: 1) git is kept developping, but we obviously do not need to keep tracking it (I think they have made some "big" change in 1.4->1.5). I don't think keep tracking a floating target is good for a project's SCM. 2) No tool after the default install could check out the default repository? Best Regards, sephe -- Live Free or Die
