Also (as others have pointed out) going too far back (often not that far) may run you into tool differences that break re-building old revs. Hopefully you don't get variable behavior, just a failure-to-build at some point. I'm not sure how much Rust has made this worse. -- Randell Jesup, Mozilla Corp remove "news" for personal email _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
