The version in nicholas/bisect should now work properly even if there isn't a blead branch (or tag). It uses the last known stable tag for getting files such as makedepend.SH. If 'blead' doesn't exist then for the search end it uses the more recent (topologically) of HEAD or the last stable tag. Nicholas ClarkThread Previous | Thread Next
