When I heard that the SVN guys were planning symlinks, I took the two days of effort to put them into Meta-CVS. It took some huffing and puffing, but it was worth it. I ended up using them in a couple of projects. Meta-CVS could in principle support hard links as well. I can visualize quite crisply how it would work, but I currently have no incentive to do the work. If I think that something is useful to the product (i.e. *I* can use it myself, or it provides some strategic advantage) then I might put it in. It shouldn't take more than around four 40 hour developer-weeks to do it (and I mean do it right, so that every operation is properly aware of hard link support, including ``mcvs grab''). _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
