Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] Updates on urllib-dean branch

[John P. F. <jf...@ov...>]

I don't see any compelling reason for either git vs svn or sf vs github. 
I only see a time cost that would be better spent on actually improving 
the library. Merging in SVN from what I've seen is fairly trivial, it is 
the design decisions that are hard -and those can be addressed through 
work on the specs and subsequent division between Dean and myself 
(currently).
