It also means that a commit that touches 10 files is one logical change so you can merge an entire chagne in one sweep rather than having to hunt for all teh files affected like we do now. It also means it's easy to get a diff of an entire commit. The p4 client still needs some work to be truly useful, but that is a better long term goal. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
