WHO THE F*CK CARES? Ah, damn. In all the discussion & flamefesting to say that people don't want to use the # character, noone talks about of what cogito used it for. Having something functionally similar to cg-clone git://foo.tld/bar.git#blue would save a few steps -- and some potential confusion -- for projects using GIT. In case it's not clear what it does (not everyone here has used cogito) it will create and checkout a branch tracking the "blue" head on the repo when the clone is done. This is _instead of_ creating and checking out the branch that tracks the configured "HEAD" of the repo. IMHO is a quite nice thing to have -- and AFAICS we don't have it in master or pu. I care about the shed for the bike, not its colour. cheers, m
