Because of "Abshoff Momentum"? I can think of no other reason. I think this is silly. It makes more sense to reject a patch because the revision history comment is bad. Right now, with our dual system, the hg history comments can easily be bad, since one always has the SPKG.txt to back it up. So there are real negative consequences to the current confusing system. -- William > > - Robert > > [1] > http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/producing_spkgs.html#the-file-spkg-txt > . > > > -- > To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > URL: http://www.sagemath.org > -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
