Are you familiar with Git?What Git means by tracking, is that when you know there have been new commits to the branch you're tracking, you simply pull those new commits into your tree and that's it. there's no polling any more than there is when you do an 'update' with svn.
what you are talking about is probably cloning where you dl the entire history. But as some kind fellow has setup the Git mirrors, that's been handled for us. Ah right - well check Git out - most people I've read from who've tried it love it - it's like a new world (sort of like Wicket ;) Yes, that would be cool, but i would imagine it's a pretty big deal, so too much to worry about for a one-off peace of work perhaps? 2008/10/10 James Carman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I would be careful setting up a repository which closely "tracks" the > SVN repository at the ASF.
