Easy. Just like when I used to clip a playing card to a bicycle frame with a
clothespin to make noise. This was apparently finally patented in 2000 --

Could be. Had a 3-button mouse long ago...
Anyway, no matter. Have ordered one now.
Thanks to all!

I'm curious about the 3-button mouse... (haven't seen one for a long
while, but seems like it might be worth getting one.)
you might have seen one and not even known it. Many mice
with a scroll wheel support pressing the scroll wheel as a 3rd
button. its not nearly as pleasant as a real button

FWIW, I pull -n first, then see what´s going to change, then
merge what I care about, then pull without -n, adding -s´s and -c´s as
a result of which file I merged, and I´m done.
Regarding pulls from sources I´ve found no problem so far (other than speed).
Indeed, speed is not a problem here becau

Nice work, but couldn't you just bind /n/sources/plan9/sys/src
to the hg repo and push from there?
I had interest in being able to see plan 9 source at bitbucket.org.
Part of the driver was my continuing inability to get replica to work
well at home, and part just a need to tinker :-)
So, I created an empty repo at bitbucket.org,
http://bitbucket.org/rminnich/sysfromiso/overview
and then did t
