Considering trying out 2.0, but in the process I wanted to clean up my shares, and now I can't seem to figure out how to remove a share! I'm on 1.4.111 on Mac OS X.

Yes. I've also noticed a funny thing. If you actually understand Bitcoin, you tend to like it. If you don't seem to understand it, you tend to not like it. This is unfortunate. People seem to understand "money" (although

I assumed the variable reuse was related to the bug. The thing is, test cases are often ugly, by nature. They are often unexpected inputs, corner-cases, unexpected (but legal) use of variables or indentation or anything really. Bad syntax o

So all the actual filesystem entries are basically soft or hardlinks to the most recently selected version? Time Machine on OS X works that way (as do a few other incremental backup solutions, I believe). Notably in Time Machine's case
