Great, there have been many fixes and improvements recently which need a bit 
more in-depth testing I guess. The change log for version 1.2.1 clearly shows 
that it's much more than just bugfixing.

I did, still don't like all the crap. VCS have to be simple and stable. Blowing 
up the database (which happened in our company a couple of times already) is not 
what I call "stable". Within 12 years using CVS we did never have any broken 
file and even if it would the files are easy to retrieve and repair. A broken 
SVN database on the other side is PITA and FSFS storage was at no means a better 
choice.

Disk space overhead and more complex metadata storage in databases instead of 
flat files does not add to simplicity as well.

Migrating just the WPKG repositories on my memory stick took about 10 minutes 
(yes, it's not the fastest one). And I think it will be fun to do this with my > 
1GB repositories in my company (and there's not just one).

.. but we can version-control directories, what a killer-feature ;)

I think Linus was right, developers shall not have to spend more time on 
mastering versioning systems than on programming code.

Now back to the fun parts: Testing some neat WPKG features :)
