No problem either! Sorry for the trouble.

FWIW, what happened there is that when I need to rebase an old dev
branch to master (because of revisions etc.), there are almost always
multiple conflicts with practracker. Resolving these manually is very
annoying (they are many and confusing), so sometimes I have ditched the
exceptions.txt completely and just regenerated practracker exceptions
from scratch. That's what happened in that case. If someone has a tip
for this situation, it would be cool :)
