Indeed, but see also: http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html#https-svn-config These conventions are generally used by Java projects, e.g. all of Commons. > --Thilo > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
