Anyway, if I had to vote, I'd chose to wait for subversion. We built la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona with pick axes, trowels and spades, so there really isn't that great a benefit to using backhoes, cranes, and dumptrucks. >But even now there are people who does big contributions (I mean, not >tiny patches of 5-10 lines, but changes of hundreds or thousands of >lines) and who do not have write access nor (seem to) want it. This isn't about write access; this is about having your local branch be under revision control in a form that is really easy for the main branch to pull in and merge, and that anyone can download if they want to. Arch is about making branching a non-hostile and not necessarily permanent act; it is about allowing many different threads of developement to grow in parallel, instead of each fork diverging irrevocably into different sunsets.
