But there's no denying that subversion is getting better by the day. For a new project, I wouldn't hesitate to suggest subversion. But for a large, existing project like *BSD there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason to switch (yet). But that will change eventually. Richard Coleman rcoleman@criticalmagic.com
