Sorry missed this (I wasnt CCed so it went to a low priority queue which
i read on a best effort basis).
Let me clean up the patches a little bit this weekend. The patch is at
least 4 months old; latest reincarnation was due to issue1 on my SUCON
presentation. Would a patch against latest 2.6.x bitkeeper (whatever it
is this weekend) be fine? If you are in a rush and dont mind a little
ugliness then i will pass them as is.
BTW, Scott posted a interesting patch yesterday, you may wanna give that
a shot as well.
cheers,
jamal
