[OpenLayers-Dev] svn 1.5

[Eric Lemoine]

Hi Tim. So long that users need not upgrade their SVN clients, i see
no problem with having the repository going to 1.5. Talking about that
have people give SVK a try? SVK can check out code from SVN
repositories, and, IIRC, supports the same "merge without out
indicating the previous merge revision" feature. Eric
