Yes but I have to pull the whole repo to do it is my point. I can't just pull down the 8.3 branch. I have to pull down the whole tree and then work on 8.3. SVN on the other hand, if I only want to work on trunk, I can check out trunk and only work (and commit) into trunk. > > There's other reasons why I like git very much over cvs, but archiving > is not one of them.
