That would mean that you'd have to merge it into 'next'. And rather sooner than later, since everything else would lead to a dragging out of the timeline. As it happens, until you called out the 'please test master' phase, I was running with builtin clone, and did not find it lacking. Although I have to admit that I have some cleanups, and I haven't merged with Daniel in a long time. And I do not do anything particularly fancy, such as shallow clone or shared clone. Ciao, Dscho "who hopes that the please-test-master phase is over soon" --8323584-1922446888-1207355208=:4008--
