Of course they are strange, I was trying to use the Git checkout 
initially because of the wonderful support offered by SWH in storing Git 
repositories but eventually I changed my mind and forgot to remove them

I fixed this and the problems in the other patch and I'm going to send 
an updated version.

Thanks for your review,

Giacomo
