BTW, since I'm complaining so much about the identifiers in other 
messages, I just want to say here that I really appreciate all the work 
that Richard and others have put into the monotone to git transition.

I'm very excited by this transition, and have already updated the 
nslu2-linux Master Makefile to use git and have begun the transition of 
nslu2-linux monotone repositories to git so that we can be ready and 
waiting for the OE flag day.

I look forward to the day when I can remove monotone from my laptop and 
from the nslu2-linux project servers ...

Thanks to all involved!
