Re: patchsets

And, the best part, is that it's so vague you can make it mean
absolutely _anything_.

Sloganeering has distinctly limited value.

   One thing that I've always loved about Subversion is its mission
   statement. It's short, simple, and you could even print it on the back
   of a business card:

             The goal of the Subversion project is to build a
          version control system that is a compelling replacement
                  for CVS in the open source community.

   Its on the front page of the Subversion website, in fact.

   You may note that it mentions *nothing* about BitKeeper, arch, or even
   developing a perfect version control system.
