Suppose you are anal^H^H^H^Hpedantic. And you want to have the complete repository for all of the packages you use. You don't really need a specific reason for that - if you are crazy enough to want to have 100 up-to-date repositories, you will always have a reason to do so. Now, to the best of my knowledge (but I could be wrong), Subversion does not enable cloning the entire repository the way Git does. In this case, using git-svn is your best solution. git-svn will pull all the revisions and organize them into a tree, so that you can then go through the resulting repository at full speed, looking for stuff that you want (like the exact revision where some macro that crashes your build got defined). -- You don't need an AI for a robot uprising. Humans will do just fine. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
