I came in a year ago to write some git scripts (mostly for hooks). I saw that lots of scripts (including gitweb and the sample hooks) used the git- form, and some didn't. I found that I liked the git- form, since it permitted command and man page name completion, so I did that. Today I literally wake up to find that I now gotta go fix all those scripts, upgrade git-web, and whatever other *scripts* used the now obsolete git- form. Sorry, I skim the git list every week or three. The doctor says I'll live, and be back to health in a few hours. But there will be a doctor bill. Can I send it to you? 8) -- Perry Wagle (wagle@mac.com)
