Sorry about this --- sent to the wrong address. ;)
Some of you may still find it interesting, though --- it sounds like
he trashes SVN...
He don't really trash SVN - but he find it totally inadequate for
the linux kernel, where _thousands_ of developers send each
other patches back and forth, all have their own slightly different
trees more or less in sync with Linus' tree. A developer may need to
maintain his own tree for weeks, months or _years_, and still keep in sync
those 50MB he isn't working on.
SVN isn't meant to be used in such a decentralized manner, it
is meant for the "everybody check their changes in at one
central server" scenario. Which works well for things like LyX . . .
