However, if you want to have full distributed VCS features, you can do what I do and use the Bazaar VCS (bzr) with the 'bzr-svn' plugin, which allows seamless access to svn branches as if they were bzr branches. And then you can use bzr (which is a DVCS like git or hg) to make local branches and merge changes back and forth between your branch and the bzr-svn branch which is the upstream GRUB. It's really easy, all I had to do was install bzr, the bzr-svn plugin, and then do: bzr branch svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/grub/trunk/grub2 and that created a local 'grub2' branch with full history from the svn branch. (This takes quite a while the first time. But bzr-svn caches all the history data in ~/.bazaar/svn-cache so it only has to do the full download once. Anyway, that's one solution that works great if you want distributed version control features. Otherwise, I'll let someone with more recent svn experience help you (I haven't used svn myself for the past 2 years since I discovered bzr...). Regards, Colin
