Warner, Why is it that the project can't continue to operate the SVN server in addition to Git, gatewaying with -current as is being done with 12-stable? As a developer, I definitely need monotonic revision numbers and reliable dates when I'm trying to troubleshoot a regression. I understand that you want better 'collaboration' in FreeBSD, but why can't we have the best of both worlds? -DG * David Greenman-Lawrence * * Pave the road of life with opportunities.
