Hi, thanks for the reply, since I never looked into git code yet, I think I need first to get familiar with it... I will look at it, and if I come to have a solution I'll send it as a patch to the list, but since it might take time for me to go into git's code if you find time to do it please notice me ;) thanks JLM
