Get v2: svn co svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/LinuxBIOSv2
Get only flashrom: svn co svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/util/flashrom
What was wrong with:
svn co svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/util/flashrom
??
Get everything (v2, v1, utilities, even v3 later): svn co svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk
Nobody will ever do that. You need utilities with every version, but not all versions together.
Having _different_ repositories will remove lots of advantages:
- Common code browser (in trac) for all our code.
That could be fixed in trac
- Common bug tracking system for all code.
Is that a bug in trac?
- You cannot easily do, say, 'svn log' or 'svn diff -r500:600' over all the code, you have to mess with _two_ repos...
The list goes on.
What are the advantages of the move to a different directory though?
Think symlinks. If you do 'cd util/flashrom' in v2 and change+commit things there, it'll be committed in flashrom (which is an svn:externals), not in v2.
This is very implicit magic, I hope it wont bite us.
