But why isn't such a feature set added into SVN? Why do I have to download another version control system just so that I can "git" libxcb and X11 so that I can compile gtk so that I can compile xchat
If you are just a user trying to get a development version of libxcb, I am sure that you can download a snapshot -- if the project doesn't offer them formally, it'll probably have a "gitweb" thingy to browse the development history online that also allows you to download a snapshot. If it's really x.org they _definitely_ have gitweb (just like viewsvn or viewcvs). No need to get git. If you are a developer, git knows a lot of tricks that svn/cvs don't, things that change how a large and broad project is developed. Lots of people find it worthwhile, so chances are there'll be a payoff to the pain of learning it. :-) cheers, martin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
