Re: [Gnu-arch-users] patch: automatic remove the corrupt revlib revision, second try

[Andy Tai]

Hi, as expresed in the opinions of many people here, automatic removal of rev 
libraries by tla is
not something that will happen.  At the very most we put them in a directory to 
allow the user to
be full responsible for his own actions...

Nontheless, thanks for Derek for sending patches.  Keep them coming!

Andy
