Nothing to do with single points of failure. SVN uses transactions and changesets. These make a heck of a lot more sense if they're done on a per project basis. Unlike with CVS, this makes a big difference -- SVN revision IDs are actually meaningful, and you don't want to lock every single Gentoo project whilst one person on a slow dialup connection does a single transaction to a single project. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
