Hello,
For the information of anybody with developmental tendencies, I'm
benevolently dictating that mercurial is replacing subversion. The svn
repository will disappear soon, and is already no longer linked on the
homepage. Instead, there are now notes[1] on how to get at mercurial.
This is a Good Thing. It means you can track changes in your local copy
without needing to write to a central repository. It makes the work in
your local repository effectively an implicit branch. It's just like
git, if you've used that. If you've never used a distributed system
then it will be a bit unfamiliar, but is worthwhile.
Cheers,
John
