Dear Anthony,

Good to hear!

We have normalised all project names to indicate the dialect. `typechecker`
is now a parent "umbrella" project for all typecheckers.

Interesting issues - I am not really sure. Which address did you use to
clone the Git repository?

I have a hunch that our migration to the new SourceForge platform may have
influenced this.. if you see http://sourceforge.net/p/czt/code/ , the code
listing on their website has some "unknown" bits. After new commits, they
get refreshed to the correct version.. So I am a bit puzzled, but hope it
gets resolved over time by SourceForge.

Nightly builds are being made from the default read-only CZT git repository
at `git://git.code.sf.net/p/czt/code`.

So have you managed to pull the latest updates now or are you still on 2007
version? If there are problems, I can investigate.

In Git, the commits are referenced by their hash, e.g.
967829cb33b9fba62c11bb577ca496fee0aa0525 is the current head of the
`master` branch (though we will push a lot of changes soon).
The hash and info of the last commit can be obtained by running `git log
-1`.

You can search for the commit info by this reference, e.g. use `git show
967829cb33b9fba62c11bb577ca496fee0aa0525`

Thanks for all your help, and apologies for bothering you with the

No problem - builds are rarely trivial!
