I should do more often things like adding --stdin to the fetchers. From one part, I'm used to work with a fixed set of system tools and extending Git with the functionality I want means changing my thinking mode and "jumping out of the system" a bit. The other part is that I cannot use the improvements in Cogito right away (at least not in the main branch) but I have to wait for the next Git release; but this is mostly just an excuse. :-) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ #!/bin/perl -sp0777i
