Oh, I didn't mean that svn1.8 would be unnecessary; I meant that a server working with git and svn clients would generally be a migrational tool and wouldn't need to follow svn. I recognise that there are use cases for svn, I just don't have any around here. ... > There are different projects that fulfill different needs, and we > should strive to keep them alive for as long as they serve a useful > purpose to their users.
