Fair enough. :-) That wasn't clear, though.
I certainly don't ever mind being corrected. That's fair game.
What does matter, though, is that no user ever be challenged in such a way,
even if it only appears that way. That's what I was reacting to. In such cases,
it'd be far better to be much more specific.
where, exactly, did I make the mistake? In a repository log entry? If so, git
doesn't make that easy to correct.
