Hi Dick-


Thanks for the email. Distributed revision control saved me many
times, I'm really glad the kicad project is using it.

I looked at the doc repository and read this thread, but couldn't
really figure out which revision he wanted to go back to. But all the
old revisions are there, so it's just a matter of sorting it out. I'm
glad to help if still needed.
