Well, it's already "tonight" in Australia and I am going to bed and
can do nothing except hope that nothing breaks.

Luckily I just got to a major milestone in development on that branch
yesterday.  But how will it look on GIT?  Where will I find it?  And how
will I merge it back into trunk?

It will be a massive merge.  All of the graphics of KGoldrunner has been
re-written.  There will be several large source-files to delete and new files
to add.  I have not yet deleted the obsolete files on the branch.

I do not know where to start doing such a task in GIT --- and will have
no time to do anything about it anyway until about Thursday or Friday.

I am catching up on some non-KDE commitments ATM.

Night night, Ian W.
