Re: [Amforth-devel] Major redesign of the repository

[<ha...@hu...>]

Hi Matthias,

while checking out the repository, I found that you decided to move
appl and lib out of the trunk path.  Is that really what you intended?
 It is certainly your decision, but I would think that it would make
more sense to put appl, lib and amforth under trunk (creating a new
amforth directory and moving everything under trunk there).  That way,
it would be easier to check out the full tree and also it would be
easier to snapshot the lib and appl directories when a release is
made.  With the current layout, this would not be easily possible.

Also, such a revised layout would be more in line what SVN
repositories generally look like, so it would be less suprising to use
for people with SVN experience.

Thanks!
Hans
