So, what did those people do in the days of cvsup? As for the whole dependency/license nightmare - there is some truth[1] in that and I'm sure, the people "in charge" are aware of it. I was always under the assumption that the switch to svn was more of a temporary stopgap solution where the benefits (progress of the FreeBSD project) out-weighted the deficiencies. The migration to a "better system" is supposed to be easier from svn than cvs... [1] I have the need to have mod_dav_svn in my subversion-package (because a customer needs it and I only want to maintain one pkgng-repo). Thus, every time svn is installed, apache gets pulled in, too. Awesome.
