Re: [Savannah-dev] Merging GNU Savannah and the CERN branch

[Marcus Hardt]

Hi!

The database removing/renaming/adding seems a serious step to me, which should 
only be done once.

At savannah.fzk.de we added two extra tables to the database which I'd like to 
find in the refurbished savannah once we start merging our branch.

For the way we handle the subdirectories of CVS we need these entries in the 
groups table:
CREATE TABLE groups (
  cvs_subdir varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  cvs_subdir_of varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  use_cvs_subdir int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
}

In case you plan to change the cvs handling itself I'd like to be involved in 
the discussion

Marcus.
