Bastian seems to have gone ahead and rearanged SVN to his own liking, so I'll close the book on trying to discuss that out on this list. I like your idea of using bzr, for starters, it has branching and merging. For seconds, people can do this however they please, so we don't need these tedious debates. And there are all sorts of other good things, like with ubuntu, which might well make things like security patches less of a burden. Questions 1. How, if at all, do you interface baz/bzr with svn. Is it just a manual process? 2. Who doesn't want to use baz/bzr instead of svn. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
