My reaction: o Don't know about that, let's look it up. o Try "man rebaseall" in CygWin shell. No luck. o Try searching Windows 2003 Help. No luck. o Google search turns up people who are complaining about using it or announcing changes to it. o Now clear that it is a CygWin package distributed as "rebase" o Verified that "rebase 2.4.2-1" is installed on my box. o Try "man rebase" in CygWin shell. No luck. o Try looking in online CygWin UG: Not mentioned in the TOC. o Download PDF of user's guide and search for "rebase" and "rebaseall". No hits? o Can't find a "search this site" button on the CygWin web site. Could have sworn there was one. o "rebase --help" produces a one-liner just describing the argument syntax without explanation. o "rebaseall --help" produces a couple of sentences telling me to shut down things before using it, but again, not what it's used for. I'd like to look into this, but how? -- Jens Dill -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
