That adds additional complexity. Note also the additional trouble of underhandedly hand-crafting a ,v-alike file will break checking out a revision other than the absolute latest on the branch, since you'll end up with either no serial, or still the latest serial, depending on how the file is crafted. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
