The idea would be to work off clean svn checkouts so there are no conflicts. > Rahul Akolkar wrote: >> >> (ideally, there'd be multiple changesets, one for each feature -- see if >> some such is possible,... >> > > I understand; however, the invested effort to create each issue & > create/apply/verify each patch versus a bigger one is related to the > probability that they may be looked at (catch 22).
