But since it is XML files, there are no problem seen from the bylaws of Apache, that is something I checked last year before starting the capstone project in AOO. <orcmid> As long as the binary files that are automatically placed in solutions/project directories .sdf and .suo are in .gitignore, that could work. I also think it is messy if the source code is mingled in the solution/project directories. As well as I can tell from the student work, there was a lot of copying back and forth. I have not broken the code on that. I do know the solutions don't work if opened where they are on the capstone branch. Also, because I opened one solution in a later version of Visual Studio than it was created with, the .vcxproj file was changed, so I had to revert it to prevent my checkout of the SVN being marked as having commits to be made. Oh my, and cygWin .sh scripts. Ah well. </orcmid> [ ... ]
