thats what the documentation says. have you ever made any use of the "useful" thing? > Does SVN handle this differently? yes and now. yes: you don't _have_ to create a tag and a branch whenever you import code. no: you can import code that is maintained elsewhere into a branch, a tag, the trunk (or just any other directory) yes: svn is able to handle references to external (svn!)repositories (which imo is better than blindly importing anything useful) so the answer is: you can do it like you did in cvs, but you can handle it more appropriate at your own judgement. > > There are more like this. Purging tags could be a tricky proposition. > I think the purge list should be opt-in rather than opt-out to prevent > losing important data. well yes, i would agree. but who remembers that there was a "dacblocksize" branch of pd? who works on this? will there ever be work done on this again? (fyi: "dacblocksize" is a branch i have made; the purpose of the branch has been reached (although the code never made it into pd); i have not worked on it for some years; i have no plans to work on it ever again (and if i did, i would have to start from the beginning anyhow); i have plainly forgotten that this branch ever existed; i would love to see it deleted) i hope that (more) people read more carefully in an opt-out process. (even though it could be really handled as an opt-in) finally, did i say "purging"? i should have said "deleting" (within the version control system, rather than purging outside it); no data will be lost: you can always go back to an older revision to retrieve the data) fmga.sdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list PD-dev@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
