Include a git distribution, as many packages on npm depend on it

That looks pretty awesome (gitlet). I hope my work was somewhat useful to her. On Sat, Jan 24, 2015 at 8:12 PM, Dan Kaplun [email protected] wrote: > Looks like we...

Make all C -> Lua calls protected and allow user error handlers in uv.run()

I decided this is a very deep rabbit-hole with little benifit. I instead made a simple change to `lua_pcall` all callback event sources and hard-error if there is an uncaught...
