RE: why repository is set per user?

2003-12-18 Thread Alexei Barantsev
Hi, I know one good reason why local repository is set per user, and if I remember history it was the main reason why this change was implemented since beta-9. The matter is that local repository contains not only external depencencies of a project you develop. It contains also the developed arti
