Message-ID: <7vskzzaoop.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> In-Reply-To: <20080211082216.e9212310.chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Why do you call this a "fix", when the only effect of it is breaking people's existing setups? Wouldn't a set of proper fixes to the config parsing callback functions solve all the issues without having any downsides? I think you are wasting both of our times. You could be doing the real fix instead. Or I could be spending time on it, instead of repeating to you how mistaken this approach is. So far I've seen and queued only two usable fixes since that [Janitor] request. Maybe I should have ignored all this discussion in this thread and spent my time on doing the Janitorial work. The reason I joined the thread was that I hoped that I could save people like _you_ from wasting _your_ time in the discussion, instead of making better use of it by doing audits and fixes. Grrr.
