Clay, Simon and Andreas, thank you for your feedback. I haven't found any problems, either. I'm going to clear FOP for final migration. I'm unsure about Batik at this point, however.
Andreas, your question doesn't sound stupid. It's simply that Subversion works differently. Each revision represents a snapshot of the whole repository. Tags and branches are done using cheap copies. You'll find the maintenance branch here: https://svn.apache.org/repos/test/xmlgraphics/fop/branches/fop-0_20_2-maintain/ As another example the 0.20.5 release is found here: https://svn.apache.org/repos/test/xmlgraphics/fop/tags/fop-0_20_5/ When you tag the repository in the sense of CVS you actually copy the trunk (https://svn.apache.org/repos/test/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/) to a new directory under the "tags" directory. It's not that the whole content is then copied. Subversion supports "cheap" copies which only creates the information necessary to recreate a consistent states. I recommend you read the SVN Book at: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/, or especially the chapter about "Subversion for CVS users": http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/apa.html On 23.06.2005 00:49:53 Andreas L.
