That feels like a positive way for me. At least, that means I can actually make heads and tails of what things solve what, and get out of my current stagnation with this project. It's actually quite simple for me to do, as the 3.6 to whatever there was before we started on 3.7 was just one commit, and is therefore easy to revert. While we're into structural changes, how would you guys feel about a future change of SCM. I'm getting a little sick and tired of the non atomic nature och CVS, along with the file-oriented way instead of the changeset-oriented, along with the non-existent history control (quite important when merging lines of development). BTW, DON'T PANIC! I'm not about to make that change now, just throwing it into the pile of ideas. Personally, I'd like to use monotone (http://www.venge.net/monotone/), but since it's currently undergoing quite a lot of change, I'd wait until the summer before doing an actual change... Right now, I'm a bit busy seeing my son, whom I haven't seen for two and a half months (I'm divorced, I live in Sweden, he lives in Boston, you do the math :-)), so I'm not going to promise much movement quite yet.
