Just to clarify a point that might be confusing to folks: What's really imported into Perforce every few minutes is a snapshot of HEAD (for src/ and doc/ anyways, don't remember for ports/), not the entire repository with all of the history, branches, etc. As you pointed out later on, converting the entire repository is a pretty big task, although I've heard several times about developers in the Subversion community using the FreeBSD CVS repository as test data.=20 :-) Bruce. --=-WI+AMn8psn4hr5s+Lydg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBI3oz2MoxcVugUsMRAuPnAJ0UL2kwIQzQEIAqi0tsR4wdq2z5GACdG6my b7wzjIezVCACo652BdCG1YM= =QV3v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-WI+AMn8psn4hr5s+Lydg--
