application

Patches that appear after appropriate dates are typically not applied
but held for the next major release.
1.20) Why haven't you replaced CVS with SVN, Git, Monotone, VSS, <insert your
favorite SCMS here>?
Currently the core developers see no SCMS that will provide enough
benefit to outwiegh the pain involved in moving to a new SCMS. Typical
problems that must be addressed by any new SCMS include:
* Run natively on all of our supported platforms.
* Integrate into the Buildfarm.
* Import our entire CVS Repository while preserving complete
history.
* Allow for anonymous checkouts.
Currently there is no intention for switching to a new SCMS until at
least the end of the 8.4 development cycle sometime in late 2008. For
more information please refer to the mailing list archives.
