Oh... NOW I understand, thank you very much!

I am always curious to find out HOW a tool works, and WHY it works this
way. There are mainly two reasons for this:

1. If I know how a tool works and why it does so, I might be able to use
   it in a "better way". I might prevent myself from trying to do things
   the tool is not designed for, for example. This can save some hours
   of work. ;)

2. If I understand the rationale behind the one or the other decision, I
   might find that idea a good one, and use it (or a similar one) in an
   own project. Thus, I am trying to educate myself from other's
   decisions.

This is the reason why I ask such questions. Of course, I treat CVS
revisions as opaque if I work with CVS, I do not want to mess with it.

Regards,
   Spiro.
