RE: Re: .svn vs _svn on VS.NET (ASP.NET) -> Note of historical interest..

The thing I am trying to understand is if there is any desire to attract .net developers? If so then it would be prudent to make this happen now before MS gets their act together and releases a real source control system (not the SS junk they have now).

I think that the subversion team would like it to work for .net developers as long as they don't sacrifice the integrity of the platform, but there are definitely some folks who are very possessive and could care less if .net developers benefited.

It's hard for me to stand on the sidelines and not comment when we stand to gain such a great source control platform.

By the way I just heard today that Whidbey is scheduled for release in first half of 2005.

Yes, but few things in this world can be as satisfactory as imposing your
view on Windows users, especially when you have a 5% market share :)

All that bullshit about breaking compatibility and not being able to
share working spaces...

They had two years to stabilize the API before 1.0 and after many
reports about this problem and many discussions it still didn't cross
their mind that maybe some support should be added in case the admin
folder will be changed.

Let's face it, 75%+ of those who are against this change opose it
because of their personal feelings about M$ and Windows.

One week on this list and it's clear to me that they don't want to
fully support Windows and Visual Studio users.

Too bad that Subversion is such a great product and there isn't
something better.
