hi brett,
i already downloaded the pdf - even read it :-)
i enabled it and it worked in the working copy - but not if someone
without access to the real svn accesses http://svn.....file.txt.
and besides. my "application" is only one perl file, so no tags,
compilations, releases etc.
so again the problem. how does a user who downloaded my "application"
know what version of the file he is using?
bye

So how does a "normal" user know what revision of a file she/he uses? what can she/he tell a developer if he finds a bug?
