Re: [B2-devel] git?

[Robert M. <mr...@gm...>]

Regarding the symlinks, I think it's important to keep as much code
shared as possible.

I don't care as much about whether that's done with symlinks, or in
the more standard way with a single directory tree with shared files
and two build targets. Either way I still have to read a README to
find out how to build it, and how to get the result running, and
that's not going to change.

On the prefs editor issue, I couldn't care less. I've used both GUI
versions (there's a Mac-specific one, that some of you may have used)
as well as editing the textfile directly. Once again, you have to RTFM
to know how to set your prefs, and the task of actually setting them
is insignificant by comparison.
