Because Arch's merging/patch logic is unsurpassed and because revc is a superior expression/foundation of the essence of what the popular alternatives are about. Too much in the FOSS world is driven by (largely constructed) perceptions of momentum and there's too little focus on details and longer-term thinking.

Your welcome and I second your thanks to "others". -t _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
