There is at least one user that wants both... I got a bug report about this before I made cogito.deb Conflict with git.deb. (Then of course I was told that that was the wrong approach, so I _removed_ cogito's /usr/bin/git and removed the Conflict with git.deb.) But I agree totally with you. I'd much rather conflict with GNU Interactive Tools and have git-the-vcs be compatible with non-debian universe. That seems like the lesser of two evils. But everyone else on debian-devel seems to want it the other way so I gave in for now. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
