Do I remember correctly? Not really, the revision history of the CVS gateway predates Pavel's so-called hacks. I don't mind us supporting this gateway for the small number of users, if it makes them happy, that's fine. What I mind is people coming back and asking for more stuff for a tiny number of people. That doesn't make sense. We should put our efforts into helping the people using BK, not the people using CVS. If you want to help yourselves, that's a fine idea, go for it. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
