[ Please CC me on replies. Thanks! ]i, Hi, I shouldn't conflate to two (parseopts and strbuf) but can someone tell me how these two things came about -- that is, when/why/how? If I understand strbuf correctly, it's a transparent and dynamic way of handling strings? If so, how useful would it be as a separate project? TIA! David

I don't have a pointers to exchange of emails that started the road to strbuf and parseopt, but both are described in the techical documentation (GIT API Documents): Documentation/techical/* http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/technical/api-index.html http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/technical/api-strbuf.html http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/technical/api-parse-options.html -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git
