Eric: Thanks - but for the moment I will go with Jambunathan&#39;s suggestion and stick with the latest version before the removal of BABEL.<br><br>For the record, I created a local branch before the removal of BABEL and used <br>
<br>git checkout MyBranch<br><br>to switch to this branch. So I can keep my local git repo up-to-date and switch back to master if I want to.<br>Cheers,<br><br>Rainer<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 7:51 PM, Jambunathan K <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:kjambunathan@gmail.com">kjambunathan@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Rainer - if he feels uncomfortable - can choose *not* to update his git<br>
repo and switch his local checkout to a historical version.<br>
