[Freeciv-Dev] Re: scorelog/savegame inconsistencies

[Justin Moore <justin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   If anyone's curious or would like to help me test the patch, you can
grab it from

http://harmony.cs.virginia.edu/~jdm2d/public/scorelog-1.11.6-patch

   It applied cleanly to today's CVS, and was stable in the tests I ran.
Any feedback, either on the patch itself or the idea, would be great.

Thanks.
