Likewise. One problem I've noticed is that renames seem to confuse svn diff. For example: $ cd gcc/cp $ svn log -r81829 cp-gimplify.c ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r81829 | dnovillo | 2004-05-13 22:29:32 -0400 (Thu, 13 May 2004) | 29 lines [ ...] * cp-gimplify.c: Rename from cp-simplify.c. [...] $ svn diff -c81829 cp-gimplify.c svn: Unable to find repository location for 'cp-gimplify.c' in revision 81828 Annoyingly, SVN is perfectly capable of tracking file movement in the directory structure. This may be a problem for archeology. Perhaps the best approach is to decide for an extension for new files and leave existing files with the current extensions. Diego.
