I believe that my statement is still correct: the revision in the binary will reflect the latest commit present in the current checkout. Of course, if that commit included files in a subdirectory as well as at the top level, then you could have the problem of only pulling-down half of a commit! The only way I could see this causing a problem would be if someone tried to build a binary without doing a top-level update.... but that is pure folly, eh? -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
