I certainly can do so and normally do when reporting bugs.  However, it
seemed that this problem was likely well known given the severity of the bug
and the platform.  This view seems correct given your comment above.

So, I stand by my suggestion (in a previous post) that master may be
mis-named and that the Qt and Creator community isn't getting all the value
git provides as the policies in place are inconsistent with git and DVCS.
