I guess I can pull from this and from http://www.octave.org/hg/octave
to the same working copy, and so I can have them both in the same
place without pestering anyone else. Hooray for distributed source
control.
Should this link be at the bottom of http://www.gnu.org/software/
octave/download.html with the other development source links?
"Bugfixes in the 3.0.x branch are developed in the repository at
<link>" ? Or perhaps some equivalent statement when 3.2 is released?
Cheers,
Rob
