What everybody else seems to be missing is that Tez is not talking about modifying repositories, or about atomic commits.

Or maybe I have misunderstood what everybody is talking about. :-) Bye, Peter -- Peter Conrad Tel: +49 6102 / 80 99 072 [ t]ivano Software GmbH Fax: +49 6102 / 80 99 071 Bahnhofstr. 18 http://www.tivano.de/ 63263 Neu-Isenburg Germany _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list Gnu-arch-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
