And I do not want to be left out. I gave you my reason on IRC, you ignored it. And you continued with "You must defend your reason. Until you defend your reason, I do not give you the solution, although I know it". That sounded rude. If you are *curious*, try to speak not from position of "punishing authority", but as curious people would normally speak. > P.S.: I know how to do it, too.

I think it does not break anything in git. If this is so you should have said so and to give the solution (which you said you know). I am lost in guesses as to what makes you keep your monopolistic solution secret. Hope I can figure it without you. In the chat, you told me that you know the answer but won't tell me. I have to tell you that demanding from me that I tell you why other people asked this, and to withhold the answer on the ground that I must mind-read them and tell you their mind ... I think this is stupid attitude on yous part. Yakov
