My 2p: I've been doing this recently with qpid, partly because I'm wrangling a large merge at the moment (which it does better than straight svn) and partly because it suits my typical workflow a bit better: cheap local branching means I can hack on something, get interrupted, create another branch to work on that interruption in isolation, commit that to HEAD, rebase the branch from the first thing and pick up where I left off without having to take intermediate patches, revert that out, reapply etc which is what I did before. The initial import is ridiculouisly slow if you take all the history because the asf has one repo for all the projects and it looks at each revision, but you can tell it to only pull history from a certain point. - Aidan -- aim/y!:aidans42 g:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://aidan.skinner.me.uk/ "Almost everything is imitation...
