Yes. > Why? Dealing with 99 conflicts can take a while. During this time -current would [potentially] be broken. And that is just to get it to compile, much less work properly. So in the past, I've done large imports on a private CVS repo, fixed the conflicts and then tested and fixed any other problems that were apparent. THEN I would repeat the exercise on the real CVS repo repeating every commit I made on my private repo. This time I didn't want to to do all that, and I convinced the CVS meisters the current path was easier. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
