#5903 and #6523. There seems to have been some fiddling with both but no comments to speak of. Thanks for clearing up the reasoning behind your decision.
Also a web search for "ExcludeEntryNodes" brought up a preparatory commit you seem to have made earlier this year [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-commits/2013-February/052377.html]. I would have thought that the potential importance of the feature here described in avoiding traffic correlation would outweigh the possible disadvantage in having it behave unexpectedly, but I can't argue with your experience. Would listing all country codes except the one you wanted to avoid under 'EntryNodes' do for a temporary workaround? Is there a list of these that Tor uses, or do I have to enter them manually? (I'm not a programmer, evidently.)
