That's a one time operation unless you nuke your cloned repository. I'm more worried about the disk space usage because my disks are always full :) I also don't think moving to svn is really worth the effort. The only benefits would be preserving history with 'svn cp/mv' (which would be nice to have but not needed very often), and 'svn mkdir' not changing the repository. Or have I overlooked some really useful svn feature? -- Ville Syrjälä [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
