Then, there is the whole "distributed" thing that people don't really take advantage of, instead centralizing repos, mailing patches, and not pulling from mine when requested (i.e. frei0r). > also client scripts/ebuild for the svn/git version are easy to fix, > when using git. > If no one is against this, would we convert your whole svn to git next > time ? When we are communicating with users who are testing out the HEAD of some tree, how do they refer to a version? By having to copy and paste some long ass id that I have to locate? blech -- +-DRD-+
