Duby dynamic dispatch has landed!

[Attila Szegedi]

Hi,

so this took only five months, but I finally did move my code to GitHub :-): <http://github.com/szegedi/dynalink>. One of side effects of being employed by Twitter is that I have ample opportunity to learn and use both command-line Git and GitHub, so I'm feeling comfortable with the switch now. 

I just imported the SVN HEAD; the GitHub SVN importer was acting up, so I didn't bother with recreation of history.

Hopefully this'll ease the future collaboration.

Attila.

As I lamented elsewhere: first I encountered CVS[*]. By the time I mastered CVS, Subversion comes along. By the time I decently learned Subversion, I need Mercurial (for MLVM). By the time I grasp enough Mercurial to check out OpenJDK and apply MLVM patches, cool kids go Git. It's hard keeping up with the version control system fashion... :-)
