I went to #sourceforge where one person said cross_copies was disabled upgrading to 1.1 and one said it wasn't. In any case, on my request, cross_copies was re-enabled, but this broke all revision logs with a Python exception. SF then re-disabled cross_copies and now have no intention to turn it back on. Instead, they suggested to enable a Trac instance, which I did. This solves my problem. ------------------------------------------------------ http://viewvc.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4255&dsMessageId=2633662 To unsubscribe from this discussion, e-mail: [[email protected]].
