You really like SVN?? you should try git... SVN is not a source code management system... it's just to get us bored :-p >I have done a couple little project in geda, using SVN as my revision control software with no problems. Interestingly Gerbers, ps, eps and other text-based "binarys" get diffed out nicely in SVN. That's nice actually... but branching, commiting and maintaining the repository nice is a pain... It's just senseless for an OpenSource developer to get centralized (stuck) in a server... Git is nice for that... EVERYBODY can commit, because when you git clone a repository you're actually making a full copy of that locally... and that's actually a local branch of that project. So you can commit locally... > > As for real bin files, SVN does a diff on them but is generally less > efficient.

It's not nice to keep track of binary files.. but ok... some of you need it. -- Best Regards, Felipe Balbi [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
