Hey, I've continued playing with svk (http://svk.elixus.org/?SVKTutorial) and have made a little test how it could be applied to our ports tree. Have a look at http://sto.f2o.org/crux/wiki/SvkRepo If you want to :-) There are a few gains over the current sitation: 1. It's a distributed system, therefore people can create private branches, and send patches to us (or publish them in a repository so we can pull from them). 2. In the working copy, branches are different directories (not in the repository!). This makes it very easy to navigate. 3. Different archs are in the same repo, therefore merging between the branches is simple and possible (if done right). And yes, there are versioned renames etc :-) Disclaimer: I'm quite happy the way port management is now, I'm not suggesting to switch; this is simply an evaluation of svk as a replacement for CVS.
