I've definitely considered suggesting that in the past. I balked at it before because we didn't have sparse checkouts or because it would be cruel to expect everyone to start using them. Now, I think that would be fine. First, sparse checkouts have been around a while and are easy to use. But more importantly, I don't expect many folks would bother checking out this new repository anyway. I mean, a few of us are going to massage the website into pointers elsewhere for the most part. If it's up to me, I'll be making heavy use of <meta>-based redirects to the Apache website. -- C. Michael Pilato <cmpil...@collab.net> CollabNet <> www.collab.net <> Distributed Development On Demand
