You can't get there from here (at least not very easily). If you have 60 trees, and want a merge for each one every 2 months, you have to average 1 tree a day. How big a delay you want in step (2) directly impacts how many trees you merge at once - if you want a week of cook time, you have to merge 7 trees every Monday, and so on... --==_Exmh_1209670599_3191P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFIGhvHcC3lWbTT17ARAktGAJ0fvS17+GOyptEy4RPRJsDgVZx96wCdFjrp 5LMfJANw0oz05hXXG+/MdNU= =jOYK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1209670599_3191P--
