How'd that happen? It's always a good idea to start the day by doing an update and checkin when you finish for the day. That way, nobody does any double work. That's just a waste of resources, IMHO. > Vg still does not compile, but we are getting there, *again* sigh. I > think that we need a different approach to commits.

For example, we could tag (copy to /tags) after we finish synching with a version of Valgrind main code. Then we can simply do svn diff on the trunk and the tag to see what has changed in between.

Aha, I see. > Is it possible to get svn to write to our ML. Anyone done this before? It's possible alright, just like with CVS. Valgrind does this too, right? I've never done it though, so I wouldn't know where to begin.
