especially the job description side of things. Take a look at all of
the descriptions and you should be able to find out where you fit in.

Subversion is one of the more straightforward systems out there, so if
the programmers don't like it, get new programmers ;)? Any VCS is
going to be an adjustment for programmers to use if they are not used
to using it. It's very difficult to have one that "just works"
without the programmers tak

I believe we have already done, and then allow the OP to make the
right decision based on their own requirements.

Hold on, which is it that he's trying to get, the "copyright" or
"credit"? Your original post stated that they "yanked his copyright

"Copyright" then that was incor
