Possible NT revision control logs

[Comments about Microsoft's code control]

... and they probably got fed up with:

1.427: $SOME_DATE by $LUSER1
foo() was checking for bar being below MAX_BAR. I need more, so I've removed the check.
1.428: $SOME_DATE by $LUSER2
It didn't compile. Fixed it removing the junk and reformatting the rest^Wend of foo() - from some point it was indented one level too deep. I'm not too good in C, but this one was quite obvious.

1.929: $YEAR_LATER by $KERNEL_GUY
It was unfsckingbelievably broken. Turns out that the first imbecil (see 1.427) removed the opening brace when he was busily breaking foo() (fuckwit, if we check for something we may have a reason for that. Like checking for potential stack smashing five lines below). Guess what had the next idiot done? Just look at 1.428. And then a dozen of guys unfamiliar with the code in foobar.c had been applying bandaids for a FUCKING YEAR, DAMNIT. Removed the crap from foobar.c, restored foo() into something that looks sane (if I understood the changes they tried to apply in 1.694 and 1.833 - somebody, check this). IWBNI somebody could find a time to remove the bandaids outside of foobar.c... WHY THE FUCK DO WE HAVE TO SPEND TIME CLEANING UP AFTER THE CLUELESS WANKERS WHO SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE CODE? Not too good in C, indeed... Aaarrrrgh...
