Because I value the end product more then bending over to a version control system. It would be nice to have both pieces of history (and as long as no one cleans out apsfilter6, we will always have both), but there is no way to superimpose apsfilter6's history on top of apsfilter. The end result (having one port named apsfilter be the one and only apsfilter port) is more important then somehow having both pieces of history in one RCS file. -- Bill Fumerola - security yahoo / Yahoo! inc. - fumerola@yahoo-inc.com / billf@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
