the reason is very simple: i tried to convice 4 people to use it (the
4 open minded ones in our teams). the result was the same for all of
them:
the reasons for failure:
1. windows does not allow to do "add -R *",
so "add -R bla" 10 times for every single directory entry
2. they added some files in their tree,
and then same story. do "svn add" for every single file.
got a "that is crap", and that was it. with the patch, they did NOT
refuse. working style was:
- cd ..
- add -R directory
if i wrote these 2 lines of code, and it worked, then i don't think
it is using your spare time, or changes anything else in the tracked
issues ...
