Is it bad? ojwb> well, the first hunk contains only whitespace changes AFAICS ojwb> which is never a good sign ojwb> rather odd setting of cmp to -2, 0 or 2 ojwb> it's probably along the right lines cworth> Oh, right.

73. #xapian-2009-12-11 ojwb> does it pass the testsuite? cworth> ojwb: I haven't checked that yet, but I can. ojwb> if richardb isn't working on it after all, I'll happily review the patch [...] kanru> oh.. hi :) kanru> that patch is against 1.1.3 aka svn branch ojwb> kanru: cool kanru> it passed the test suite ojwb> excellent kanru> rough but works :) cworth> kanru: Oh, hi!
