Follow-up Comment #3, sr #110566 (project administration): Savannah's Subversion has been in place for many years with the current configuration. This predates my involvement by a long time. It was always conveyed to me that it was meant as a permanent repository for Free Software. Rather similar to publishing information in a traditional book or a newspaper. Once something has been published it has been published.
Certainly if something escaped that was illegal or posed a danger to someone or was otherwise significantly important to redact then we could dump the repository and filter out the required information. But it's rather a big deal to do this with subversion. For normal things with subversion it is expected that if something needs to be changed that it will simply be changed and a new commit with that change committed. It will record the history correctly that it was one way at one point in time and then it was changed to be different at a later point in time. That's the normal expectation. It has been a while since I have been deeply knowledgeable about svn configurations, I have slept many times since then, and I forget the details of it. Is this a question that is important enough that I need to learn it again in order to answer your question in more detail? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?110566> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.nongnu.org/
