Hmm... that's interesting to know (I'm considering changing the way the search is done, which would naturally tend to give precedence to backends whose admin dir is closest, so CVS would then tend to unavoidably take precedence since it's always as close as any other). > Another query: When we specify a backend, does the case matter? > Example, HG and Hg, are the equivalent? I think they're not equivalent. But I couldn't tell you offhand how it would change things. Stefan
