Agreed. Python is, IMHO, an ugly language anyway. Everyone involved in this is practically guaranteed to know PHP, and by using PHP we can choose our own version of the language instead of being locked down to a version used by Subversion's internals. -- Gwynne, Daughter of the Code "This whole world is an asylum for the incurable."There has been a (short) discussion about this on the svn-migration mailinglist (cc'd) which resulted in the recommendation of writing it either in Python (because subversion uses that natively)What exactly do you mean by that? Does Subversion have any scripts we need already implemented in Python? If not, I don't see why should we even care what Subversion uses. We have our own needs and I see nothing wrong in using PHP for sending commit logs to the list, doing authorization and updating the changelog, do you?
