Hmmm ... in some ways this would make reading patches more complicated
than it is now, as you'd need to check out a different branch to get the
code, then do a manual diff to see what was changed. ;-)

A patch attached to an email is more immediate to read (and so preferred)  
-- at least for me. :-)

Thanks


PS: About subversions, why don't you lobby savannah.gnu.org to support it?  
GNUstep being an official GNU project, we probably naturally fit in
savannah.gnu.org ... not sure we want to move away from there.  Certainly
if subversion is so much better it should be possible to convince them to
use it? :-)
