I will surprise myself here and say that webkit-patch should do things "the SVN way" when using SVN and "the Git way" when using Git. Normally I am in favor of having VCS wrappers paper over the differences between systems, but from experience I can say that when using SVN I often have multiple changes in flight in a single checkout, whereas Git makes that very difficult. Since this means you can't get "the SVN way" using Git, it would mean that we'd have to use "the Git way" when using SVN, which would remove useful functionality and, as Geoffrey Garen point out, make submitting via SVN substantially slower to boot. -- Dirk > > -eric > _______________________________________________ > webkit-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev > _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
