Re: Coniguring 301/302 redirects to track an fspath rename

FWIW I don't consider YOUR email counterproductive. Let's stop discussing the incivility and move on to more productive discussions, like how svn.apache.org behaves right now towards incubating projects. If compelling evidence presents itself that my module breaks essential features of svn, I'll be the first one to remove it from service.  But really, I can't be the only person on this list interested in interrogating the server before offering an opinion- that makes for lots of useless banter that doesn't move the ball forward IMO. >________________________________ > From: Johan Corveleyn <jcorvel_at_gmail.com> >To: Joe Schaefer <joe_schaefer_at_yahoo.com> >Cc: Branko Čibej <brane_at_wandisco.com>; "dev_at_subversion.apache.org" <dev_at_subversion.apache.org> >Sent: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 4:50 PM >Subject: Re: Coniguring 301/302 redirects to track an fspath rename > >On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 10:21 PM, Joe Schaefer <joe_schaefer_at_yahoo.com> wrote: >> Calling a coded solution a "giant waste >> of time and energy" is highly uncivilized >> at the ASF, please let's not paper over that. > >Oh come on.
