If our primary motivation right now is to diagnose/solve the svn checkout problem, then maybe just uploading the build-improvements branch to Google Code would be sufficient for now. > Perhaps they think we are not serious? > > They certainly will not object to the current 12G of GCC -- Google > invests lot of resources into GCC. > I doubt that Google would host GCC using this mechanism so the comparisonn is rather moot. The problem is, I suppose that Axiom is not big enough to warrant direct Google investment but (almost?) too big for the Google Code project.
