Call it matter of personal preference, I think most people here split the trust into "before or after compilation". I must trust that I can clone/checkout code safely so I can review it.

But you had at least a chance to review it. cheers, n -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com martin@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
