[postgis-devel] Current master branch of postgis causing clone issues ?

[John Harvey]

Hello all,

Just to make the issue easier to track/understand, I submitted a pull
request:
https://github.com/postgis/postgis/pull/115

This contains the 2 changes that keep getting modified on my branch
whenever I clone.
If I remember right, this was how we fixed a similar situation on another
project.

If I'm wrong about it though, feel free to correct me (I'd be glad to
understand the situation a little better).

Regards,
  -John
