Is there any impact to having a milestone event like beta 10.2 not recorded in our svn history?
Yes, and its a matter of confidence as to what a 'beta 10.2' that is broadcasted far-and-wide actually represents. The beta code, built through normal processes, will report itself as a specific svn revision, and whether or not it has been modified from its subversion source. If the beta reports as being at a revision that is modified from what's in svn, then that's a little suspect. What really went out as the beta? There's no way to verify via source control. That's a problem, to me anyway. To be pedantic, yes, I know, you could fake the version number of a modified binary as being from unmodified subversion source even though the code it was built from was in fact modified. Since the beta would necessarily be posted to our website by someone in our community, we should have confidence that such a deception would not occur. andrew
