SVN's architecture for branching and tagging is a lot nicer. CVS's UI primitives for branching and tagging are a lot nicer. I think SVN is easier to fix in that regard than CVS is. I'm rather curious why some stock hook scripts don't exist to do that for you already. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
