And you end up with a number that is not unique across branch. The problem is not that is it is not possible to work with a tuple (branch, number), the problem is that a tuple (or a string) is not a number and breaks existing infrastructure. It does not mean it cannot be made to work, but it won’t out-of-the-box. (Imagine that the LNT database needs an integer id for instance, and this id is usually the SVN rev, unique across branches). — Mehdi _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
