Re: JIT Unicode code point support, and UTF-8 in compound text

Ben> i guess what i mean is, google automatically threads, etc, etc. I don't think either Gnus or VM does what you want. Both automatically thread, but both sort threads by oldest visible message in thread by default. In VM that may mean unread-only, but gnus allows you to flag the message. The other stuff I don't think they do; I'll have to take a look at gmail.

I've used subversion a bit with a couple of other projects. Subversion seems to be a much better CVS, exactly as billed. AFAICT it will not help with the megapatch problem, it will not help with intelligently merging multiple related workspaces, but it would be much more robust in day-to-day work. Of the "modern RCSes", I've tried Arch, Darcs, and git. The first two are not competitive with subversion or CVS for speed, even though most of their work is done locally, not over the net. git is a great tool for intelligent merging. Unlike Arch and Darcs, it doesn't try to be intelligent, but it's so fast and reliable that you can use *your* intelligence to sort out the likely conflicts, and you can afford to try a merge and throw it away if it didn't work. It also cooperates well with smerge.el and diff-mode.el. git doesn't seem to mind having other RCSes update behind its back. Bottom line is I no longer really care what the project uses, and probably don't need to. I don't work at the scale that you do, but Linus and Co do, and I'm pretty confident that git will scale with whatever you throw at me. I don't yet really have it systematically set up, either. It really needs menu-based cherry-picking and a darcs-like hunk-by-hunk commit selector, but even so, I can't imagine life without it any more. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
