[Difx-users] DiFX SVN repo {External}

[Geoffrey B. Crew]

I have found looking at commit comments (especially my own) to be rather 
worthless after a year or so.  One rarely details what one did in any 
level that would allow an archaeologist to do anything useful.

As for the older tags, I have many of them checked out on disk 
somewhere...still.  Yes, I'm a pack rat.  So if anyone REALLY wants them 
after the magic date I can probably make a set of tarballs from what I have.
