Well said!
actually my experience is, that a well done distributed version
control system should allow anyone to track a central CVS/SVN
repository WITHOUT urging the developers to change their ways. If the
release is done, the question may rise up again.
I fully understand Hans and Edi, that they want to get their project
done their styles. Complete new features or major changes in project
infrastructure are just unnecessary distractions. We as a community
can help best by testing of whats there, reporting bugs or suggesting/
doing improvements in style and function. If help comes back as a
patch it should be well tested, documented and in the sense of what
the dev-branch tries to fix (no completely new things).
