Neither 'rebase' nor 'dash' have changed since my last successful
install - but 'setup-x86_64.exe' has changed. Clutching firmly to this
straw, I tried version 2.819 - and this behaved in exactly the same way
to version 2.830. Still, when you have eliminated the impossible...
'rebase' depends on 'grep', which /has/ changed recently. However, if
'grep' was playing up then this list would be awash with complaints from
confused users. No - it can't be that. My next step is to work
backwards, starting with my snapshot and plodding backwards in time
until I find the cause.
Dave.
