Since we became self-hosting eleven months ago, we've gone through ten milestones. This milestone, however, is the one we've always been working towards; it's a freeze on major features for our 1.0 release. From here out, it's mostly bug-fixing. We hope this announcement will lead to more widespread testing; we welcome people to try Subversion and report their experiences on our development list and issue tracker." Subversion, a source control system akin to CVS, has been in the works for a couple of years now.

testing subversion/cvs... by grey1 · 2002-07-24 01:38 · Score: 1, Offtopic

Does anyone have a test set to try subversion (or cvs) out with, lying around at the back of a directory somewhere?

Seriously, though, how, other than using it for real, might one test subversion? And how would you recover from the bugs that will be in there without devoting your life to it for a few weeks?

Just wondering.
