While doing the conversion I purposely avoided trying to make any other process changes. My thinking was that this would both make the task simpler, and allow us to focus any discussions on the task at hand rather than get sidetracked into other disputes. Now that this is pretty much done I think it's fine if you want to make changes. I think there are a few things in gdb that don't really make sense in the post-git world. Tom
