WebDAV for Subversion on linux/osx at least committs a lot of changes - a single 'save' will create a new file, delete the old and then a rename (making 3 changesets). Without a chance to even document what the saving entails, the revision log gets close to unusable - also seeing that the new file breaks the revision history of the old file it replaces (added as a new file every time). One project manager with an Office document and a life-log habit of continually hitting 'ctrl- s' (as you never know when office will crash...) will make 100's of changes in the repos during a morning editing session... At least this was my experience back at svn 1.3/1.4 when I tested and rejected the idea of using it. I don't think anything has changed since, but haven't looked either. :::simon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
