That's ok for me, since in my case, I never want the svn-rev tags. But if I understand well, on the first import, you need to use --incremental (even if it's the initial import) in order to be able to import again later with --incremental flag ? Is that right ? I thought (at least with --git) the --incremental flag was a no-op for the initial import (since we start from scratch, it does a complete import). But Now with the --svn import, on the first import the --incremental flag is not a no-op but mandatory. It's not a big problem, but the behavior of --incremental seems different between --git and --svn here.. -- Martin G. _______________________________________________ fossil-dev mailing list fossil-dev@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-dev
