(re)Based on #456 and while I tried to get appveyor to work, but it seems like its a deeper-rooted issue (with dat or nodejs) that I couldn't get fixed.

ref. nodejs/help#1083 and nodejs/node#18391

Wow, rough :|

I think it's still worth merging as is

gotcha! can you look at the conflicts? then +1 to merging

rebased on master, not sure what the problem might have been?!

Awesome, thank you!

Would it be possible to merge this branch with a merge commit? To keep the commit log?

doesn't it still have the commit log in the description? d8ef48a

Or do you want to see more in the history, then I'm ok with that too :)

I asked for it in order to be able to blame. I understand the current way and I am on the fence about which one is better

Have thought about this a little more (shoulda done that before commenting). The current statement is fine. I will keep the branch alive in order someone wants to reference it.

Ah, I see what you're saying! Yeah I think just using git a merge commit would have been better, but with the extra information GitHub provides this gives a good balance between brevity and inspectability

Smaller commits in future 😄
