update, yes. history, no, use bk/web. diffs, no, use bk/web or bk. building it is certainly possible and you could do it yourself. We already built the cvs exporter which is a lot nicer than what you are asking for and building another thing for another 6 users seems pointless. If you want to pay for the engineering then contact me offline. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
