   Hi mark!

     The commits need to be there in order to 'revert' to them, and they're not;     
   at least not in the repo checkout ("clone") that I have.   
   I'll just need to get with them (Andrew and Vince) about it.

     True.   
      
      
    ml>  i always hate it when i install something via apt that i   
    ml> want only for my personal user but it gets put in place for all

     In general, a distros' package manager is for installing things for system    
   wide use, not just a particular user...
