I haven't been following up on 1.6. What features should we be
expecting? Would any of them be as useful as a usable workspace?
Personally, I've just recently moved to 1.5. Before that I believe we
were on 1.4 for what seems like forever. Serious merging issues have
just been worked out with 1.5 ( in the 1.5.5 releases).
Are there really that many new features that are coming down the
pipeline that it's time for a 1.6 release and a 1.7 down the road?
Personally, other then a bit of whacky merging, I'm fairly happy with
the feature set of SVN as it stands now, but would love for it not to be
so SLOW...
It makes it really difficult to conform to any sort of best practices
when updates and merges take several minutes each (especially when
you're on normal speed drives and it can take up to 10 minutes for an
update, and probably much longer for a merge)/
