I have never understood why people on this list are attached to it. I think I have answered this question already once in this thread, and a few times in similar threads with Eric in the past. People track CVS repos that they have not control over. Smart programmers forced to work with a corporate CVS repo. It happens also with SVN, and witness the popularity of git-svn which can sanely interact with an "active" svn repo. This is a valid use case. Hard (impossible?) to support. But there should be no surprise as to its reasons. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first ~ http://docs.moodle.org/en/User:Martin_Langhoff
