In two years, why should there be two development paths? > In theory there's no reason why not, but I suspect you'd quickly run into a clash of ideas (their dependency on Apache for example - any SVN server I deployed would have to work with IIS or not a all, plus no multilingual support, which is a biggie). There are going to be more than two development paths though - there's Arch as well (which for me has some much more interesting ideas but seems to be rather too Unixy at the moment... It is Unicode based though and supports many of the features I've been after for a while. Going for ArchNT is extremely tempting... but only if I though I could pull off a native Win32 port and a CVS->Arch protocol conversion). For me, a primary goal of any cvsnt project is to support existing clients - even if they can't access the full functionality. Plus there's the win32 integration (which can be much better - sharepoint functionality, MMC consoles giving useful statistics and controling the repositories, etc.). OTOH multiple projects is a good idea - the free market works :) Plus, we can steal ideas off each other. Tony
