I remember this behaviour from the old days with RCS and later CVS, where directories where "second level items" and not tracked completely. One of the design goals for Subversion was to improve this behaviour. And it does: There's no difference between files and directories, you get full version control for both. So the statement "SCM try to handle files, not directories" is not correct. It may be correct for git but not in general. So to end this, it seems to be just so for no specific reason.

Might I dare to ask for the specific advantages of this approach? Just being curious as ever. Please note that I'm well prepared to accept that there is no good reason whatsoever:-) Regards Uz -- Ullrich von Bassewitz uz@musoftware.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.Received on Wed Aug 22 11:54:51 2012
