Sure, but Joel Spolsky's hand-waving notwithstanding, svnmerge generally works for the kind of use we are talking about (short-lived release branches with small cherry-picked transplants). Now for long-lived branches svnmerge is weaker, although not totally useless either; otherwise we wouldn't use it for py3k. _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
