It's not exactly true either. svn doesn't have either tags or branches, it has only a single (directory) tree per repository, of which individual subdirectories can be checked out individually. This is the root of the usual first step in creating a SVN repo: make "branches", "trunk" and "tags" subdirs. In this context it is not surprising that there is no separate branch or tag concept. I think the reason is that CVS *had* branches and tags as separate concepts and it must have been relatively painful to use them. cheers, Georg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
