Hey,
I was working on this when Garretts e-mail came in.
It's killing me I should be working on my paying job, but I can't get
this stuff out of my head. I've been subverted:-) I wanted to hold off
submitting but I wanted you guys to see what I'm working on. back and
forth I went in my head. So now I'm crazy and it's all your fault:-)
The namespace problem he mentioned should have never been missed.
Sorry. Or should I say scary.

This was my understanding as well. I'm not saying I don't want a
branch. I'm saying I haven't earned a branch *yet*:-)

You were kinda warned:-) And anyone who helps me get this pig in, I owe

Beratement; not gonna doit:-) The last thing in the world I want to do
is mess up Subversion. I plan to earn a seat at the table.

To be honest, the SQL page is only the tip of my evil master plan.
Unfortunately, my writing skills are not so great. OK so they suck.
But I will write and re-write until my point is made well. Once I get
this other crap I'm working on finished. uggghh.
That said, it's important that my work not mess with the primary goals.
Period. End of story. I would feel horrible if it did. But I know the
commiters won't let that happen. Which is totally cool from where I'm
sitting. In the basement by the way.
Some of my views:
DAV and Apache were awesome choices. The auto-commit stuff will bring
users in droves. No doubt in my mind.
But the thing that turns me on the most is the FS/repos. I really want
to roll up my sleeves and become one with it :-) It's a nice balance of
complexity and simplicity. I friggin love it. The permanent store is
the holy grail in my mind. I can't begin to list the number of things I
think it applies to. I'm sure you guys see it. You built the thing.
When you guys were looking for a logo. I wanted to submit a sponge btw.
Lastly, let me leave you with this thought. Many people on this list
have talked about their favorite ra layer. Mine would have to be
ra_federated. Imagine a world where repos' play nice together. Like
so. Hi, I'm gats repo. What's your name? Do we have any common
friends. OH cool ......... Behind door number 1 is my java tape library
stuff, enjoy. Behind door number two is .... I have have about 10GB of
free space if you need a mirror. Please submit your mirroring requests
as follows .....
I know you guys have sat around thinking about this crazy kind of stuff;
right?
OK now I'm going to go work. Email is down and I'm going to go close xchat.
