Not sure how true it really was.
It made the work a bit easier, but it would've worked if it kept running as well. But we didn't know it at the time. Actually, it would've been more likely to cause conflicts for people I think, since we would still have had to revert everything back to the commit before the broken one anyway, and it would then affect more files for those who had pulled a broken version. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
