You'd probably still want to do an explicit 'svn update' on the changelogs immediately prior to prepending them, to minimize the window for a commit race, but it's probably good enough in most cases. Assuming there is no way to get an atomic prepend, of course. I much prefer this approach to the "roll the changelog once a day" approach. -- Dirk _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
