"2" previously was a best guess, as in, "if you were to file right now, 2 would be the next number based on slightly stale information, but the actual number might be different". The slightly stale information was the last time the server did a successful checkout of the iclas directory from svn, which likely was within the past 10 minutes. Now it no longer guesses, and shows an "N" which will also will be replaced at the time you run. The primary reason: the server no longer does a full checkout of the iclas directory, instead it caches a shallow svn list - something that takes considerably less disk space and for some operations actually is faster. Here is where the change was made: https://github.com/apache/whimsy/commit/aea0846bcb61295df1e11f5e25abc3b80f39996e > Thanks, > > Craig > > Craig L Russell > Assistant Secretary, Apache Software Foundation > c...@apache.org http://db.apache.org/jdo - Sam Ruby
