In the circumastances, I'd suggest it's time to announce that svn-2.0
will be the "Kill BitKeeper" release. It's becoming obvious that far
from helping the OS community, which McVoy's been bragging about, he's
actually actively working on killing off open source projects.
Lots of commercial software vendors are capable of cooperating with the
OS world. BitMover seems to be going down the SCO path.
