I see - thanks for the pointer. Sorry to hear others in the Moz project weren't so keen on hearing about alternatives to SVN. Long term only something like GIT seems viable for such a large project (in terms of community, branches/subprojects and codebase). Two remaining questions - Where can I get your latest code? :-) - I gather the moz cvs repo has some cases that require getting the symbol resolution right. Could this be performed as an extra pass / task? Eventually the Moz crowd will outgrow SVN - perhaps we should be parsing the SVN dump format instead ;-) cheers,
