People have been improving our git infrastructure constantly; I think the point is the converse ... it's getting harder to support SVN, and supporting two systems does impose a cost (at least to the people like me that do hack on the infrastructure :). That said, I have to agree that it's nice to be able to see a monotonically increasing number in the change history. Even if you have a single linear branch in the git master, you don't have that. Maybe there is a practice for getting an equivalent using labels or tags in git repos that I don't know about? -- Dirk _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
