From: "Lisa Dusseault" <lisa@xythos.com> I initially assumed -- since I work on document repositories rather than source repositories -- that core would be suitable for document repositories' simpler versioning needs. That assumption was probably unwarranted. In earlier drafts of the protocol, the core level was called "document management" (and advanced was called "configuration management"), so historically, Lisa's assumption is very warranted. Nevertheless, I think it would be a Good Thing if we did explicitly or at least consciously target "core versioning" to simple document repository scenarios. Source repositories can then implement on top of core versioning any additional features like baselining, forking, etc. that aren't required of document repositories. As is probably clear from my postings, I wholeheartedly (and even vehemently :-) agree with the preceding paragraph. Cheers, Geoff
