:Signing in also offers the ability to tag edits as minor edits so that users who watch the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes feed]] (like me) don't accidentally check up on edits like [http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Metaprogramming&curid=8714&diff=121121&oldid=121120 this one]. Basically it's a nice thing to do that helps the community interact with you. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 19:07, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
== {{Tmpl|works with}} and git ==
With git, it would be wise to provide a URL to the git repository and an "as-of" changeset, rather than simply specifying 'GIT HEAD'. There are several reasons for this:
# Git is decentralized. Which head? The head of the official repo (where is that?), or the head of a buddy who ran "git clone" a few weeks ago?
# Any software can undergo regressions and deprecations, so it's helpful to have a point in time where something is known or specifically expected to work. It can be presumed that something ''should'' still work after a particular point in time, of course.
This is in response to [http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Arithmetic_evaluation&diff=126158&oldid=prev this edit]...I appreciate your adding {{tmpl|works with}}, but I think more specific information is warranted. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 20:40, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
