No. A single directory should only be synchronized to a single repository. If you want to use a local repository to keep old versions of your own programs, I think you should put them in a separate directory that is not updated automatically from the general pywikipedia repository. > What will happen to the rev numbers this way?

In general I don't feel a need to keep access to old versions of my private experiments, so if there is no need to get them in the main code (or if I am unable to upload, like I am at the moment (grmbl)) I just keep them as unversioned files. -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ Pywikipedia-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-l
