The document is available in both PDF and Postscript format.
The *.asc files are digital signatures that confirm the integrity
of the documents.
mmh.tar.gz contains the final state of the code base regarded in
the thesis. It is under version control. git can be used directly
to browse the repository. The repository can be browsed online as
well: http://git.marmaro.de/mmh
changelog.txt contains the log of all changes done since the
beginning of the work. This file exists for convenience. The same
information can be retrieved with `git log'.
full.diff lists all differences between the beginning and the end
of the work. The file exists only for completeness. The same
information can be accessed in a much more comprehensive way
using git.
schnalke-mmh.tar.gz contains the full source code of the document.
It is under version control as well, but in this case Mercurial
(hg) was used. The repository can be browsed online as well:
