The coolest thing is that you can split hunks from the same file and commit them in separate commits.

If you're interested in doing the same or collaborating, fork away on Github!

It's worth reading, if you don't remember what reentrant means, or were never exposed to the concept.

We called an ambulance for an emergency with our daughter (it turned out fine, that's another story), and when the bill came, it turns out that THIS PARTICULAR AMBULANCE COMPANY is not freakin' covered by UNITED HEALTH CARE's stupid insurance. Can you imagine? Like you're supposed to ask 911 when you call, "do you take United Health Care?" %&(@ng insurance companies.

One thing that wasn't documented well was how to set up git emails. There is a git-notify script out there, but in contrib there is post-receive-email.

For example, a Cook Political Report poll of registered voters released this week found Mr. McCain beats Mrs. Clinton, 45 percent to 41 percent. But Mr. Obama beats Mr. McCain, 45 percent to 43 percent. The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll found similar results. Mr. Obama also has the highest approval rating of any major candidate among independents, 62 percent, according to a...

So you can do nice Ruby-like proc names, such as valid? proc_with_side_effect! Interesting. Wed, 30 Jan 2008 21:52:01 GMT OpenACS
