Those issues have nothing to do with the language, and everything to do with the language implementation. Moreover, a brain-dead monstrosity as you describe would result in far greater problems than merely the lack of decent version control support. I think it's safe to leave such implementations to rot, rather than stretching tools to acommodate them. -- \ “That's all very good in practice, but how does it work in | `\ *theory*?” —anonymous | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
