Thanks in advance. It's odd. I did commit to web-pres2 to remove some files that shouldn't be there. But I checked, and it's really to git.php.net :S But if there is a commit on github, and not on git.php.net, that indicates I must have committed it to the first one. I'll remove that commit (and force push it) - hopefully that won't break things. Make a backup though :-) I'll then redo the commit at git.php.net. Would that work? > PS: Derick, I've CC'ed you, because I'm almost sure that whole > situation happened after your commit, so you should be able to confirm > or deny forced push case. I didn't force push, that's for sure. cheers, Derick
