Yes, full agreed. The fact that git is a DVCS had significance when setting up git.kde.org, but now that git.kde.org is setup (and so effectively it is a centralized VCS as far as we users are concerned), all the pain and all the features of Git come from its branching features. Rebasing vs. merging is a fundamental concept, not something invented by Git. Ian >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
