I absolutely see your point, and I agree that doing this manually is out of the question. But I am wondering if it would be possible to automate this process, i.e. using git post server side hooks? I must admit that I don't have any experience with this, but it sounds about the thing one could use to automatically tangle the file. But as I am not the one who has to maintain it, it is easy for me to suggest it. Cheers, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation Ecology, SUN), MSc (Conservation Biology, UCT), Dipl. Phys.
