OK, do it. In a previous message, =C3=93scar said: > So we need another rule: if you are working on a branch other than > `trunk', use revision ids, else revision numbers. Creppy. Well, yes. revnos are convenient, and it seems unfortunate to force everyone to abandon that just because you (=3D collective) are developing on a private branch. So if you want your revision references to be universal, use revids. I'm not trying to convince anyone *not* to use revids. I'm strongly opposed against being forced to *use* them in the *trunk* because other people have private branches. If that means the trunk branch is privileged, well, with our current setup and procedures, it is. =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Juanma
