The Joomla! Spanish speakers are one big family

The Joomla! Spanish speakers are one big family

Rebasing

Rebasing

If you think this involves a teaspoon and a spirit lamp, take your F and go home. Git's "rebase" command takes advantage of the distributed nature of git to enable you to do some really useful and creative things in your repository.

Currently, there is no sort order available to handle this situation. This paper discusses about how to implement this new sort order, Recently Touched Date.
