If we're going to start catering towards people using the kernel
repository with distribution revision control tools, why not just
use a proper distributed revision control system? I'm quite tired
of dealing w/ SVN; I consider all these discussions about branches,
naming, etc to be a complete waste of time brought about by SVN's
utterly stupid (lack of) branching and naming policy. When doing
offline development, I've tended to work using bazaar; online
development usually consists of me flooding #debian-kernel with minor
little commits, as well as dealing w/ conflicts as people write
changelog entries at the same time I do. It feels a whole lot like
SVN wastes a lot more time than it saves.
I can deal w/ SVN for the immediate future, but if people start using
svk anyways, I suggest we simply switch to something like git(/cogito)
or bzr.
