OK, then do scan whole directories. If you do not want that, we force users to convert existing repositories. I think we must choose one of the two. Tough choices, but I cannot think of a better way at least right now. > >> We also need to changes servers in order to deal with existing 1.x >> clients.

If there is a better way, I would like to know. Please give us better solution if you have an idea > all. -- )Hiroaki Nakamura) hnaka...@gmail.com
