It's a stated goal of the infrastructure team to get _all_ Apache projects moved over from CVS to SVN, for a variety of important reasons. A bunch of projects have already made the move, as you can see here: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/?root=Apache-SVN If you believe that tool support will follow adoption, then we'd be doing ourselves a favour by migrating sooner rather than later. Then the ASF can say "we use only Subversion for all our source control needs", which is a pretty powerful statement that SVN is here to stay in a big way. -- Martin Cooper > One of those chicken and egg things... ;-) > > Colin Sharples > IBM Advisory IT Specialist > Email: sharples-at-nz.ibm.com > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
