I use the FTP server to get patches (with a Python script - very easy), and I
apply
them manually (easy). So I have no personal interest in the CVS or SVN
distributions. However, lurking here has shown quite a bit of pain associated
with
them, so I would be glad if something could be done to:
1. Make life easier for Bram. -and-
2. Reliably update CVS and SVN for those that want them
(or be so superior that CVS/SVN will be abandonded).
IMHO any suggestions need to outline what Bram would do (to illustrate (1)), and
what a user would do (to illustrate (2)). If these two hurdles are passed, the
question of reliability can be investigated.
I cannot see how using wget to download patches as above, or downloading the
whole
tree, would be an improvement for a user.
