If we're going to start using public version control for 'Ediware' libraries, may I gently suggest that a distributed VCS might be a better fit for the project.
The short answer is no. For a longer answer please search the mailing list. This has been discussed ad nauseam before.
Not a problem. :)
I don't have to search; I was probably the one who brought it up first (only once though). At that time, the answer was that there was going to be no public version control at all. One of the reasons given was related to the need for offline operation. Another was consideration of Windows support. And finally, as I recall, was the consideration that managing version control would mean more time spent maintaining the project.
So I was a bit surprised to see the introduction of a seemingly public and permanent version-controlled repository for hunchentoot that doesn't support offline operation and has a relatively high management complexity (SVN).
That's why I brought up git. Things looked to have changed. I wasn't looking to kick a dead horse. :)
