Ideas welcome!
Technically it is ultimately possible -- git-svn just speaks the svn protocol so it certainly could be hacked to work with subsets of the upstream repository. That would allow you to check out the non-layouttest source code and make changes that don't touch layout tests, at least. For full credit you'd want to teach it how to work with a separate layout test repo as well, of course. I'm not volunteering. _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
