Re: [SFE-devel] SVN question after update of sourceforge platform

[Thomas W. <to...@us...>]

Additional info:
It looks like we got the SVN repo auto-migrated but
*fortunatly* no one used the new location since the
import. 

The last revision stamp was:
spec-files-extra 	2012-12-11 	kenmays 	[r5095] SFEsdl-ttf.spec: bump to 2.0.11 
(for the *NEW* repo location, so please don't start using that
new location for the moment)

Any thoughts, should we give "git" or any other SCM
on Sourceforge a try?

Until then we can commit to the old repository location,
but that one might become read-only any day soon.

Regards,
Thomas
