Doing things the way you suggest means *anyone* who wanted to use our repository, and also take changes from other repositories, would have to run this incredibly expensive operation every time they wanted to run the equivalent of cvs update to pick up changes from an upstream.
Or he could wait till we do that, which might be up to a week later if we do it weekly. It isn't such a big deal -- and it is still better than the present situation. Anyway, I just suggested in another message a much more efficient solution. -- Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org
