Sure, commit it. I don't really think it's featurelist.txt,
which tends to have either usable features or bug fixes to
the original codebase... . I think featurelist.txt should
try to have 'selling features' only.

Hey, that'd be great! I do this too sometimes ...

Again, I don't think that's a bad idea. It might
be best to do that in a standalone commit rather
than with a commit of a feature/bug fix as it
would make the info from 'cvs diff' less useful.
(unless the bad formatting is in the area of code
you are working on).

The original goal was to remerge bf-blender back into
tuhopuu, and a valiant attempt was made by LarstiQ a
few months ago, but I think this is becoming an
unweildy task now. My feeling is that at some point
we will have to expire the tuhopuu tree, and start
a new fork from bf-blender, porting whatever incomplete
features over. Any other thoughts on this?
