At the moment I still wait (impatiently, because then my current contract ends) for April 2008. The important thing to realise is that time is such a wonderful dimension to be exposed to: not only do you live (experience things that you did not know before), but also other people live and learn. IOW even Linus realised that the git-xxx format is not _that_ good. Which is why -- as you should have realised if you did not subscribe 5 minutes ago -- we do not recommend git-xxx at all, but insist on "git xxx". Hth, Dscho
