Ah. Yes. I forgot to mention that. Good catch. I wrote the script specifically for use with the repos created by Gentoo's git eclass (used when installing packages from git repos rather than from tars or the like). As such, it only needed to deal with pristine clones. -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
