Re: isofs/cd9660 -> relocate to fs/isofs/cd9660?

Quoting Scott Long <scottl@xxxxxxxxxx> (from Thu, 28 Sep 2006 22:51:25 -0600):

Moves in CVS are relatively easy too, it's just that they can only
be performed by a special group of people, and that special group
rarely responds to requests. So, it's a policy problem, not a
technology problem. I would imagine than any new VCS that the project
adopts would have similar policies in place, and moves will still be
impossible.

ATM we get the repo copy when we request one. There's no approval process I'm aware of. So I expect a lot of bikeshed discussions about the right layout if someone moves parts of the tree. But the problem you mentioned above is not a policy problem, it's a technical problem: CVS has no official way to move while keeping the history. Because of this we have to cheat. Cheating can harm the repo, so we only allow a subset of the people to cheat. The policy we have ATM is the result of a technical limitation, not a political decission in the first place.

Bye,
Alexander.
