A quick question on this change. If I have xml-axis/java/foo.txt checked out and this name change goes through, do I still (according to the server CVS file) have ws-axis/java/foo.txt checked out?
I would just have to change my local CVS files, per Sams perl script, and I should be OK? I am -0 on doing it quick. Sometimes pulling the Band-Aid(TM) off quick really does hurt more than doing it slowly. :-) -- Tom Jordahl Macromedia Server Development -----Original Message----- From: Davanum Srinivas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2003 7:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: now and in next year ...
