I suppose that's me but I found it a lot easier to create new branch and apply patches on top of it than merging everything. Yay for svn. > and I now use a traditional svn sandbox (+ quilt).

It takes at least 8 hours to do git svn clone of the BLFS repo (and that's if using file:// protocol). -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
