The OBJDUMP parts of this are ok, and I will check them in tomorrow. The rest has received negative feedback here: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.general/9238/focus=9267> Sorry for not having put you in Cc: on that discussion. > Also, if somebody has the time, it would be great if this page: > http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/contribute.html > and the various documentation files in the repository, like > HACKING README.alpha etc > could be updated (e.g. scrubbed of references to CVS and updated with > appropriate instructions relevant to git).

FWIW, I always work in a read-only checkout, and only use the write one for commits. But that's just habit. You can easily have your development branches and just merge or cherry-pick them into master when they are ok. > This page; > http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit > is a little generic, and the links embedded therein to various tutorials > are nice, but not libtool-specific.
