Off topic (mostly), but this is something I've stumbled on a few times -
does "repos" refer to "repo-s" (plural, REPOsitorieS) or "repos"
(singular, REPOSitory). It's not always clear from the context. For
examples I tend to use something like "/svn/allRepositories/aRepository,
but it's quite long winded... And isn't useful for paths
("/path/to/aRepository" might work, I guess...)
Anyway... Does anyone have a better way to express this?
Cheers
John
