Hi Jakob, Rowan, thanks for the good hints!

Good to know. I suppose, however, that if you clone a whole new repo you won't get the original timestamps of the whole tree (as you would from a TGZ). > checkout hook to force a full build after checkout.

But such tricks are a cludge. I won't use such a repo based system here. Period. I live on incremental snapshots which I take from my whole home directory tree several times a day, with statistics and inspection tools, and other scripts. Each of thess snapshots is fully complete, and has the environment from that moment (not only source files explicitly checked in, but also temporary files, databases, backups and whatever). Forcing my working style to the limitations of a repo would be a drawback. But, *of course*, nobody will be stopped to do with PicoLisp whatever he likes. Anybody can build a repo (as some people here already did), and communicate on in whatever platform. I just don't see that *I* have to do it. ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
