Didn't they finish Sagrada Familia in time for the Olympics?

And that's Simply >Not So. No. This is about personal write access, the ability to commit someone elses source to your own private repository, without losing any history. With arch, you can pull down the source, then "commit" it locally. You therefore have "write access", without having to be given write access to the main tree. You still retain full access to your new personal trees "history", even though it is in another repository. Try that with CVS. It isn't trivial, easy, or natural. >No. These are other, different concerns which with I can symphatize >enough. As I've said, I'd vote for a switch to subversion Right Now if >it were ready for prime time. Subversion has design problems that it is unlikely to solve without a radical rewrite. Arch already solved these problems a year ago.
