It currently checks whether the file exists and, if it doesn't, it is re-generated. I think the patch is good idea. > BTW why is StGit not on kernel.org? Why would it be? Unless you know who to talk to for this :-), it's not really a derivative of the Linux kernel. > Not that it matters: repo.or.cz has a nice mirror. Pasky, how powerful is > that machine? I am a happy user of the gitweb interface on that box... Hopefully, when I get a bit of time, I'll try to give up the http-hosted repository and use Pasky's one exclusively. BTW, how can I notify people that only pull from the http repository that it will no longer be updated (rather than them thinking the development stopped)? One solution would be to create a file with a meaningful name in the top dir and hope people will notice it. --
