Yes, SVN has a global revision number[1]. However it has also commit revision numbers. The commit revision numbers do not apply to files, but to commits (in SVN commits are atomic operations). > I prefer a more traditional scheme whereby version numbers are > managed on a per-file basis, and only change when the file changes. You don't have those in SVN. you have version numbers on a per-commit basis (and the global revision number (on a per-repository basis)). ______________ [1] http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#globalrev -- -- Jhair -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
