On Windows? No idea, I use it only on linux. But I'am pretty sure, if you publish a git branch, someone of the lazarus people will be able to apply such a branch to svn. It's not needed to attach a patch to the bug reports, a link to a patch or a git/hg branch is probably fine as well. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
