Thanks for this update (and the one that followed. I know understand more fully what was being discussed earlier. I'll keep my eyes and ears open for a future update with methods for upgrading/converting as necessary. I use my own script (which I've shared before) and will need it's own tweaking. I also use crontab to nightly check the repository for updates (using "cvs -n update"), so I'd like to learn about similar SVN functions (or GIT) when the time comes (if it comes).

Curt et al, thanks as always for your dedication and hard work to keeping Xastir the great product it is.
