No signs of detected collisions so far reported from the Linux team. There are other monstrous projects using DVSC, Firefox, for instance. No signs of detected collisions also. The list can be continued, I suppose. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
