Question thread #7

[pauamma]

It's time (more than time, actually) for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer.

I'm editing files in $LJHOME but I convert to a patch and then revert said patch (minus any additional stuff its picked up) at the end of any session. In theory that keeps the space clean for pulling in more updates or working on several patches at once.

mq means nothing to me.
