As a FreeBSD user, I never felt the desire to do that, but maybe I was unusual. As a FreeBSD developer, I don't mind installing the svn port to be able to do it (although I'd prefer a more lightweight port). I would expect the same to apply to the sort of engaged user who is willing to bisect to track down a bug. >> bug reporter: I have this new bug... >> developer: Can you try rolling back to xyzzy >> bug reporter: Yeah that fixes it.. >> developer: Ok.. patch will follow.... > And do you think that the sort of user who is sufficiently engaged with the project to do this is the sort of user who would not be willing to do so if it meant installing the subversion port? If so, then there is a clear case for svnlite. I think that it lowers the barrier.. once you start bringing ports into the picture you start running the risk of port revision hell. > > David >
