I was just saying that desiredata changes fundamental parts of the pd infrastructure as far as I can tell, and so as hans pointed out, possibly does not belong where it is now in svn. >>> How is that supported by SVN ? >> Tags, AFAIK. > > So, if tags can fulfill the same purpose as branches do, why do we > have branches as plain folders? I don't think that this is the answer. I think you might benefit from reading the redbean book: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ And look at the difference between tags and branches. Everything in svn -is- a folder in any case. David _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
