mucc
A couple of days ago I need to do several dozen moves and wanted them
all in the same revision (and only operate on the repository as these
where branches and tags directories). I remembered discussion on
mucc, so I found the mucc.c source file and after a few iterations, go
a working executable. My question is: Shouldn't there be some quick
"How to Compile" instruction somewhere? Like mucc.README or
something? It certainly would have saved me some time.
Thanks,
Troy

Actually, 'make mucc' works just fine - it's an undocumented feature of
our build system.

A comment at the top of the file would certainly be reasonable, I think.

Well if you say it like that, then I guess I'm just a moron! No,
you're right it shouldn't have it's own README. However, perhaps a
terse readme in the contrib directory directing the user to the
appropriate main documentation would make it easier for other dummies
like myself to figure out how to do it.
Some software engineer I am!
Thanks,

The "how to compile" consists of being in the root of the subversion
checkout and typing 'make contrib/client-side/mucc'. That is rather
similar to how to compile any other binary in the subversion tree.
Do you think this needs a separate README?
