The repository is useful by itself. With git or svn, the files are stored as binary objects, and it is not plainly obvious how to get from binary back to the head version in the event of repository corruption or some other disaster. There may be a mode like this for SVN, but to my knowledge it is not the default. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
