Ah, thanks. I was away for 2 days, and I had replied personally to some of the people who brought up GB vs. US spellings. It's scary to use something that one takes for granted (in this case the preference of US spelling in the en_US tree) as an example of why commit messages are more useful when some of the "what" and "how" is explained in the cvs logs, only to discover that another MTFH (monster thread from hell) has just been spawned. Let's all rejoice now that this is settled *and* documented :))) -giorgos --sm4nu43k4a2Rpi4c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE8CRwl1g+UGjGGA7YRAidNAJ9hNVq1N7ZQp/hhcMwh63OqQeu+GwCfXnlt ARABRQI1nShNzjzAKcVO+qk= =Ra2E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sm4nu43k4a2Rpi4c-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
