Sorry if I seemed rude. Wasn't my intention.
But in my defense: I was told yesterday that I have to spend a whole
week (!!) in hungary, starting from next wednesday. I'll have to babysit
a customer, which is something I really hate. And given the fact that I
really _hate_ travelling and being not at home this really makes me
nauseaous. Imagine me being away for a whole week - me, someone who even
spends the holidays at home!
To be honest: I'm already panicking. So please excuse my bad mood...

Yes I know that the screenshot on the website isn't very good. But as I
mentioned here several times: I'm not very good at that. And since noone
has sent in a better one...

No only among TSVN users. Among programmers that's the correct term. And
since TSVN and Subversion deal with source control, the main audience
are programmers.
