good evening Giorgos and Eygene (and list), So am i to understand that there is no automatic way to use Hg or Git? -- and as Eygene said in order to use them in such a manner special patching will be required? I too am looking to set something else up other than my SVN repository because i personally prefer Hg and Git to SVN. Thank you to all who have contributed to this conversation it has been extremely informative for me and i'm sure several others. I hope everyone is looking forward to the holidays Respectfully, -- /jT http://git.zen-sources.org/?p=kernel/zenmm.git;a=summary _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
