Hi, yes there is. I switched from 7.0.243 to 7.1a to get rid of the patches and the code involved with appending & applying them. However, such beta releases happen seldom and I'll have to go back to applying the patches again once new ones are out. I plan on waiting for 7.1. to be final, then I'll split up vim into vim and vim-devel, so that vim-users aren't *forced* to go bleeding-edge. I might switch from release+patches to snapshots however, so the .baks' contents might or might not become obsolete eventually - I can't tell yet. For the time being I found it reasonable to keep them; they will be removed as soon as 7.1 is out. Regards, Elias On May 10, 2007, at 12:12 AM, Blair Zajac wrote:
Hello,
In r24980, is there a reason to keep the *.bak files in Subversion?
