Hi

Sorry, this is what I should have posted:

Path: .
URL: http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk
Repository Root: http://svn.madwifi.org
Repository UUID: 0192ed92-7a03-0410-a25b-9323aeb14dbd
Revision: 3379
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: mentor
Last Changed Rev: 3367
Last Changed Date: 2008-03-01 07:59:04 +0000 (Sat, 01 Mar 2008)

I was looking in other directories to find out where the 3379 changes were

It doesn't seem to, if I check in the net80211 directory then I get this:

svn info
Path: .
URL: http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk/net80211
Repository Root: http://svn.madwifi.org
Repository UUID: 0192ed92-7a03-0410-a25b-9323aeb14dbd
Revision: 3776
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: proski
Last Changed Rev: 3767
Last Changed Date: 2008-07-10 15:50:56 +0100 (Thu, 10 Jul 2008)

Also, seeing as I checked out version 3379, the Last Change Rev must
not include other directories as there must have been 12 changes of
some kind to increase the version number and if they didn't happen in
the root then they must have happened somewhere else. If it was in one
of the other branches then that is ok but does that imply that the
modules built from the source checked out with revision 3379 are
identical to the ones built from the source checked out with 3367
