[Bf-committers] [Bf-blender-cvs] SVN commit: /data/svn/bf-blender [34535] trunk/blender/source/blender: More logical ordering of Empty draw types.

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Daniel,

Whether there are good or bad reasons, it's important to get backup by  
people who maintain the code, this to prevent everyone to just commit  
their personal preferences!

When no explicit maintainers are mentioned you can always run it via  
me too :)
