Hi guys, |

I'm just curious about something. I've noticed many people report |
| 4 |
problems with their repository syncing simply because someone was in |
| 5 |
the middle of committing to the repository. Couldn't this be resolved |
| 6 |
by replacing the syncing mechanism with *svn* as opposed to rsync? |
| 7 |
After all, it does have atomic transactions, and you cannot get a |
| 8 |
partially updated repository when you use it. |

If this was to be done, I would suggest making tags every day, such as |
| 11 |
YYYY-MM-DD. Then any other tags could also be made on milestones such |
| 12 |
as 2006.0 for that release. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
One other benefit of this mechanism, that I can think of, would be |
| 15 |
that I could easily roll back to my last sync date or release, if some |
| 16 |
of the updated ebuilds caused me problems. |

Any thoughts? |
