I just want a little bit of argument on it ... and if you're violently opposed, just say so, that's fine. I want to suggest that, once a year, we go thru the cvs archive, and prune away all history more than 3 (or maybe 2, maybe 4) years old. This could be done without too much pain, I think, in a script. The purpose is to put some kind of cap on growth of the FreeBSD source archive. While folks do sometimes go hunting for hugely old materials in the tree, I normally couldn't care less (when browsing) about history that old. Do we really need 5 year old history? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.mat.net | electronics, communications, and signal processing.
