Maybe that has changed, but if it hasn't that's a show-stopper for me. A revision control system that doesn't track ancestry is worse than useless as far as I'm concerned because it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy until you have to merge two branches and then you're totally screwed.</div><div><br></div><div>rg</div><div><br></div></body></html>
