Yes, sometimes upstreams are insane. Then we can't deal with them. |
| 14 |
We're aiming to handle the large majority of sensible cases here, not |
| 15 |
the things that don't map onto version concepts in any way. |

No. Really. Again. You've been steadily talking nonsense on this whole |
| 28 |
issue. Please step back, start again and clearly and concisely explain |
| 29 |
in coherent English how you solve the simple example I gave earlier in |
| 30 |
the thread. I am far from the only person who hasn't managed to work |
| 31 |
out your explanation of this simple case so far. |
