[12:55] how come paths in cgit use \ for separator instead of /? [12:55] doesn't matter, just curious :-) [13:08] Laney: it was an upstream change, I dug it up a while back. Let me see if I can find it [13:12] C:\ [13:13] cjwatson: I'm just being nosy really, don't spend time looking unless it's right at hand [13:13] Laney: remind me where you see it exactly?
