I agree with both of these. The layout in svn currently is src-centric and only setup to handle src. You would need to move the entire repo down into a new "src" directory for it to really work, but we aren't going to do that now. I think a separate SVN for doc+www is fine (and not near as much overhead to manage as Ulrich fears). Also, I think the discontinuous history idea is a compelling reason to not put the doc/www history into source svn. Right now svn changes move forward continuously with time (so change N + 1 is "newer" than change N), but importing doc+www history as changes that are subsequent to the current top of tree would break that. OTOH, renumbering the current tree to put the doc+www history in the "right" place is simply not workable now. Importing doc+www into the current SVN is something that would have needed to be done during the initial CVS -> SVN conversion, but that ship has sailed. -- John Baldwinhelp
