Re: [platform-team-dev] Capturing Copy event

[Michael Valenta <Michael_Valenta@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

As I am sure you are well aware, there
is no benefit to CVS in preserving copy semantics. You are right that,
for SVN, this feature would be invaluable as it would allow the repository
tooling to do the right thing when folders are copied. Could you let me
know when you've entered the bug so I can track it myself.

Thanks,
Michael
