Yes, I think this structure needs to be reflected more clearly in the manual. I'll propose some new language when I get back to this. In the meantime, one more question. What are the considerations for the location of the worktree? If possible, I think it would be a good idea for the manual to make a recommendation for the worktree location and also provide a suitable warning about where *not* to put the worktree, if needed. Thanks for your help. Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
