This is a good point. If we don't have a centralized repo, then I am not sure how we can 'control' (for the lack of a better word) what the distros ship out. > In addition, Git doesn't have anywhere near as good a Windows GUI as > TortoiseSVN.

Yeah, it is just a wrapper around the command line stuff, but at least, it is a start. The whole point of this little exercises is because GNA is lacking manpower and or the server load for svn:// & svn+ssh:// queries is too much for their hardware, and the lack of any communication from those in charge (besides what devurandom has said) is also a thorn. While I know I am the the only one on this project that is hit hard by this, others have this issue also. I can't explain why other members of this project can do svn commits/ logs/ up/(...) 99.5%, and I can only do it 10% (if that). It **really** is pissing me off, when I can't do what I want to do. This is why I think a new host will be better for the project, if we had a *reliable* host and if gitorious can do that, then I for one, will be happy. _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
