Hi,

Isn't the point of svn is not needing those files? You can always get them back, even if they were deleted. You can also copy in svn from older revisions to get those files.

svn cp -r 1234 path1 path2

So I don't really see the point of separate files. If we weren't using svn and no version control, then yes, bak files are necessary.

Blair

Hi,

yes there is.

I switched from 7.0.243 to 7.1a to get rid of the patches
and the code involved with appending & applying them.
However, such beta releases happen seldom and I'll have to
go back to applying the patches again once new ones are
out.

I plan on waiting for 7.1. to be final, then I'll split up
vim into vim and vim-devel, so that vim-users aren't *forced*
to go bleeding-edge. I might switch from release+patches to
snapshots however, so the .baks' contents might or might not
become obsolete eventually - I can't tell yet. For the time
being I found it reasonable to keep them; they will be
removed as soon as 7.1 is out.


Regards,

Elias

Hello,

In r24980, is there a reason to keep the *.bak files in Subversion?
