The is OT, but do you use different repositories for your different projects? I noticed
the unit testing project revision numbers are much lower than those for your idldoc
project? I presume that was done so you could use an externals defn for various projects
to see others (like you did in your unit test project for idldoc)?
Currently, we have your entire library explicitly checked into our repository. I will soon
move that to externals definitions of a tag+revision# - do you have a list (or a link to a
list) of your trac/svn project URLs on your blog? Or do they all use the same URL naming
convention?
cheers,
