Hey, Peter, can I make a suggestion? "svn_load_dirs" was never a very descriptive name anyway, for a tool that essentially does what most people think of as "vendor branches" (although some object to the latter term on the grounds that often the source is not a vendor but another open source project).
In any case, both in order to avoid identity confusion and to have a better name, maybe you could name it something wholly new, and just say in its documentation that it's intended as a drop-in replacement for svn_load_dirs? Possibilities: "sourcedrop", "svn_vbranch", "sidefork"... I dunno, I'm just making stuff up, probably you can come up with something better. -Karl Peter Samuelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > ----- Forwarded message from dann frazier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- > From: dann frazier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Bug#406292: pysvn_load_dirs: a freely redistributable implementation > of svn_load_dirs > > (I'm not subscribed to this list, please CC me on replies) > > Due to licensing issues w/ svn_load_dirs[1], I have started a > reimplementation of this tool, currently under the GPL license.
