The reason for doing it with "$VCS >clone" is to get a pristine workspace without any cruft like editor >backups or build products. If you *want* a crufty workspace (and in >this case some people do), a recursive copy is a better tool. Yep, absolutely agree. I also use 'cp -a' or 'rsync -avz' when I want that crufty workspace transfered to another (local) machine. In general though, when I'm working on feature or bug branches, I want a pristine working directory. -Barry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
