Thanks Giulio,

We wouldn't be keeping the same reposity, for every new project i create a
new repository. I think the checking out from core and then importing to
the new repository is what will do the trick.

I agree about the revision numbers. I think they are more concerned about
"version" numbers. They always want the new project to start at version
1.0, if that has any bearing. That being said, i'm not a developer so I'm
still trying to get a handle on the whole process and they aren't the best
at describing what they want. I think this will work fine for what I need
though.

Thanks.

Aaron
