It doesn't say which version. Even for the WWW server, it just says: Server: Apache But if this is useful, I suppose I could get information from the admin. > What sort of change is r119? Text/properties/adds/deletes/copies? Just text change. And it is not specific to r119. All diffs between two *repository* revisions seem to fail. In a working copy, "svn diff -r118:119" fails, but not "svn diff -r118". -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
