As far as I can see, the wegfiles snapshots are CVS checkouts, and don't contain history information. As such, you don't get the ability to view history locally, or to easily work with multiple branches, or some of the other things I described here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-November/msg00561.html (If you wanted to perform the conversion with history on your local machine, you'd have to rsync the entire Fedora CVS tree, weighing in at about 250k files.) _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
