sorry, it wasnt meant as a rating or something, and I really don't
have an idea of the actual
"number of VC.NET2003 users that rely on IIS".
what I meant was "leave the default equal on all platforms"
you may already have read in previous postings that I like
to do crossplatform testing/developing (windows, cygwin,
linux inside vmware, MSVC.NET(7,2003), gcc, Tortoise,
some other IDE tools, etc) and its just fine that the
svn structure is similar on all these platforms and even the
WC is sharable to a high degree.
There are (I'm just picking some random numbers to illustrate)
5 Operating Systems, 5 IDE's, 5 Versions of MSVC.
and even that one version of MSVC2003 has no problems if
you don't use IIS (afaik - and I'm using VC2003 every day).
so, IF there is a change to do I'd like to see the same kind of
change to all platforms. Maybe it's best to get rid of the 'dot'
at all, and just leave it to "svn" on -all- platforms,
like "CVS" did. Personally, I don't like hidden files anyway.
Maybe some 'pocket PC' filesystems also don't like "dots" in names?
hm. guess this was my EUR 2.0 ... not 0.02 :-)
