If anyone cared about it, they wouldn't still be using CVS, probably. :P Sadly Subversion is still a little too buggy (the whole server-and-client-must-have-matching-versions thing) and arch a little too non-existant to have a real replacement, especially when you consider that cvs2svn and the ilk are ... ugh. > Think about it.

I really don't like the changed-case solution, as that sets a precedent of sorts. A note should be made somewhere of the moved files. KDE moves files around all the time. It's all you can do to work around the limitations of a fundamentally crippled system. Think of CVS as i386, and SVN as PowerPC (no, I'm not a Machead - I run i386 machines at home, and only have a PowerPC at work because I didn't have to pay for it, but I admire its architecture). -- Daniel Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.kde.org - http://www.debian.org - http://www.xwin.org "Configurability is always the best choice when it's pretty simple to implement" -- Havoc Pennington, gnome-list
