correct. i will make two more points and then shut up. the first is that this threading model may be standard on non-asf projects like svn, but it is a deviation from all of the other commit notice scenarios in apache-land. second, i rather object to the people familiar with subversion more-or-less forcing their opinion on the community because a) that's what *they're* used to, b) it's what *they* prefer, and c) *they're* the only ones who know how to change it. :-) -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!"
