JackRabbit is very interesting... especially since its semantics (single path can have multiple data streams, etc.) are more in tune with how HTTP works in practice.
However, I do have questions about how powerful its revision control capabilities are. We've been working with some fairly large content stores (>200G) and they definitely test the resolve of every Free Software system we have tried. Hg was not capable of dealing with data sets of this size. SVN is good with large stores but its tendency to litter the content store with revision data creates other problems. I must also stress that the distributed behavior of GIT or Hg is revolutionary in its productivity. Please make an effort to work with it before you decide that it isn't valuable. -- Ean Schuessler, CTO [email protected] 214-720-0700 x 315 Brainfood, Inc. http://www.brainfood.com
