Hello,

Transvn -- first-class patches management system
=================================================

Transvn is designed primarily for middle- and large-scale open-source
software contributors.

Transvn allows:

 - to easily maintain several (or many) non-trivial patches to
 third-party source tree;

 - to improve your communication with maintainer of that tree by
 making your changes more self-contained and reviewable;

 - to use all facilities of your version control system (currently
 only Subversion backend is implemented, but underlying idea could
 easily be ported to most modern version control systems);

Transvn is like Andrew Morton's patch-scripts, but explicitly bound to
your version control system.

Please see proposal.txt as a temporary documentation for Transvn.
Installation is described in INSTALL file.  Knowledge of version
control systems and Subversion in particular is assumed.

Transvn could be distributed under the GNU General Public License,
version 2.

Transvn is currently in ALPHA stage of development.
