Current usage do not discover the bug as 'm' is always just-initialized.
Still it, as I think, may cause trouble later.

Accordingly, I have moved the git repository from:

     git://git.pycrypto.org:9419/crypto/pycrypto-2.0.x.git
to
     git://git.pycrypto.org:9419/crypto/pycrypto-2.x.git

Please update your working copies.  I updated mine by editing my .git/config
file.

Cheers,
  - Dwayne
