This is how I read his mails, as if he commonly executes cleanall leaving him in a state where he cannot continue offline. My assumption was that a plain clean might be enough. I'd argue that it may make sense to offer an action which cleans the repository as much as possible, while still preserving downloaded dependencies. > It is about forcing people to download code from online resources they > do not expect. This seems a bit artificial as argument. You also have to clone the repository once in the beginning. The next step would then be to download dependencies, and if desired this could require a manual confirmation or a manual invocation of "make download-deps". I am wary myself of code which pulls in additional code automatically. Daniel
