Dennis you are absolutely correct, I am sitting here (like waiting for a
soapy to start) as am sure many other, trying to get the short circuit
to the heart of this magic. It really is incredible. Thought I had
learnt a lot but following the mail exchanges, I realize that I am back
in kindergarten.

Thanks Dennis and all for voicing your true needs, and not being too
proud to say nothing. It is a rewarding feeling to grow in the
atmosphere of all of you in the community.

Thanks again
Ivar

This is the problem we're facing here:

The use of SVN is sweet crunchy goodness. It's the only way we'll be
able to realistically manage community development, and to prevent the
continued generation of private forks (like my own)

I support the use of SVN. I *want* to make it easier to roll changes
from vtiger into my fork, and I *want* to merge as much of my fork back
into vtiger core as is practicable; ideally, the only things I should be
maintaining in my fork are a couple of business-specific hooks into
other services, and the install is otherwise pur laine vtiger.

But I'm struggling a little bit with the svn best practices, and I'll
bet I'm not alone - and this needs to get worked out and documented in
simple-to-understand HOWTO style so people in similar circumstances can
"just make it work" without needing to become SVN gurus.

That's what I did... but I'm not sure if that was the result. I have to
look more closely at what SVN did on the merge. My gut is that I now
have a 5.0.1 repository, but a 5.0.0 working copy....

I'll be spending some time on this today to work this out.

Amen, brother. We're all in this together.
