[BlueOnyx:13083] Re: Problem:usernamesdisappearsatJapanesecontrolpage

[Eiji Hamano]

Hi Michael,

For a variety of reasons, let this matter is PENDING for the time being.

DTI has not decided the direction in future.
They still have mirror alive.

If  DTI is the largest user in Japan,  (I do not know)
It sound weird that a small companies has a outside mirror for big 
companies.

And I don't think I have a good relationship with BlueOnyx people.
Not sure to me, only Pacific region do they come? Really?


I'm sorry very much. Read over the English sentences,
I also want to test a mirror software.
