This gives the possibility to use baz for those that want and Subversion for the others.
It can be used as follow, * Have a writable subversion checkout.* Check out a read-only baz copy and work against your own branch with baz.
* When done with the patch you are working on, make a patch and apply it to the
subversion tree to commit it to the main repository.If you just want to go on as we currently do, just checkout the Subversion and skip the baz step all together.
I've been trying out baz a bit since lifeless and jeff where nice to help me get started. While it has a lot of interesting features (and I will definitely use the above solution myself) it's another way of thinking and I find myself unsure on how it works from time to time and have to go back and look it up.
Just my thoughts, Mikael Hallendal

CVS works and we could use it for the next century, but it's fairly dull and inflexible. I think the aim is to allow the project to start to reap the benefits of the more advanced VCS systems now available.(Yes, cvs has a million problems, but is someone actively being hindered in his/her work by cvs' failings?)As a developer, just the fact that I can't do 'cvs diff' when offline isa real PITA. Now I've seen how things could be, and all the other projects I hack on use Subversion, I find it less appealing to startworking on a GNOME project if I find myself offline with a few hours tospare. -- Ross _______________________________________________ gnome-hackers mailing list gnome-hackers gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-hackers
