Could get interesting. Consider the case of a user not using a given computer account for several years, and suddenly they wake up and do a sync operation. "Where did this fork from??? Everything in it is obsolete!" Just curious: Is it possible to somehow terminate a dead tree head without merging it? (sidenote: I have had a dead/obsolete DECstation/Ultrix computer at another campus suddenly "wake up" and start sending the occasional packet with my own IP address; fortunately it didn't seem to response to incoming packets; hence I think the above is possible). However not a show stopper by any means. -- Brian May
