#16699: subversion 1.5.2 short description comment about CVS is unprofessional and irritating ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: moody@isi.edu | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Website & Documentation Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: subversion | Port: subversion 1.5.2 ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ % port search subversion subversion devel/subversion 1.5.2 A cvs like version control system, but without the suck I use both CVS and SVN. Characterizing svn as 'cvs without the suck' is sophomoric and serves no purpose. Can this be changed?

I also use both and svn was initially designed to deal with some shortcomings of CVS, so while it's a bit silly, I think the description is apt. If you have a suggestion for improvement, let me know. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16699#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Fink describes svn as follows: "A compelling replacement for CVS". Tigris describes svn: "Subversion was originally designed to be a better CVS." Wikipedia: "Its goal is to be a mostly-compatible successor to the widely used CVS." How about: "A popular version control system, designed to replace CVS." jjm -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16699#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
