gollark: I have no idea. A given commit?
gollark: What?
gollark: People's programs really need to *not* just download the master branch of skynet's code. `enchat3` new installs are now broken because the current client up there doesn't work with the skynet server, pending user feedback.

gollark: Don't worry, all it did was load up stuff from the web, I can rewrite it.
