Pretty much. I have to keep trying, though. :-(

Perhaps, but probably not sufficiently so. He is convinced that
Subversion is little more than a toy that no _serious_ development
effort in its collective right mind should be using (constant and
widespread evidence to the contrary notwithstanding).

'Tis surely a quixotic quest upon which I embark, but hey, what the
hell, may as well keep plugging away at it... :-\

Some sort of a market share survey (or bake-off magazine article, as
I asked about in my other email to this list today) might at least
make it impractical for him to keep trying, with a straight face, to
characterize Subversion as a toy. Or, maybe not... :-(
