That is patently untrue. I *never* once agreed that the initial
specification was acceptable, and continued to press for the need to
have the solution deal with new branches 'on the fly'.
In any case, why are you doing this? I'm trying to help here, and now
you're jumping all over me after I sent you numerous emails over the
course of 2 weeks *AFTER* 2.2.5 was released which you didn't respond
to.

This is utter and complete BS. Richard, you have now made it completely
obvious that you no intent on doing anything of the sort, and instead
are only interested in taking potshots at developers from the stands
without any interest or desire to make any real contributions to the
FreeBSD code-base.
If anyone really cares, I have the complete archive of the discussion
squirelled away to prove my point.
This is the last time I volunteer to help Richard with anything, since
it's obvious that he's not interested in helping, and only wasting my
time.
Nate
