I won't re-create the repository from scratch, then. Though I would still need an updated version of git to enable lots of branches and tags without wasting too much hard disk space. Can a sourceware admin please install (or build) git 1.6.3.x? If there are concerns of breaking other things, I could install a local copy in ~/bin. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/
