Getting a tar.gz archive is not the same as running "cvs update". Same for using wget. One can always download the archives if you are willing to start from scratch. Using git that way is not an improvement. It should be more like running "rsync". But then, rsync isn't available everywhere either. -- >From "know your smileys": 8<}} Glasses, big nose, beard /// Bram Moolenaar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
