Graham, if you are working on this project yourself, I would advise you to investigate git or Mercurial for the reasons Jon specifies. All my new personal projects use git. Even my Subversion FUSE filesystem driver. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
