ATM we get the repo copy when we request one. There's no approval =20 process I'm aware of. So I expect a lot of bikeshed discussions about =20 the right layout if someone moves parts of the tree. But the problem =20 you mentioned above is not a policy problem, it's a technical problem: =20 CVS has no official way to move while keeping the history. Because of =20 this we have to cheat. Cheating can harm the repo, so we only allow a =20 subset of the people to cheat. The policy we have ATM is the result of =20 a technical limitation, not a political decission in the first place. Bye, Alexander. --=20 Don't expect people to keep in step-- it's hard enough just staying in line. http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID =3D B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID =3D 72077137
