No, but you can use the Subversion 'svn' program to record your changes and make patches. This is very useful when sending your work to others and in applying your changes to new versions of IPCop. To learn how to do this read the Subversion book: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ > what if i delete .svn folders ? Then you can not use Subversion. -- #---------------------------------------------------------# | John Edwards Email: john-C/[email protected] | #---------------------------------------------------------# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2
