Description Duncan 2011-03-13 04:19:39 UTC
FYI ($>> indicates a shell prompt):

$>>layman -i ALL 2>/dev/null | grep -c 'Type.*Subversion'
82

$>>layman -i ALL 2>/dev/null | grep -c 'Type.*Git'
177

$>>

IOW, the listed svn overlays number less than half the git overlays.  

Whether a layman pkg_setup message should complain about lack of support for any specific type is questionable (arguably if the installation lacks support for /any/ type, a complaint might be worthwhile, but favoring any one type?), but if any specific type is to be favored, given the above stats and the continuing trend toward git, shouldn't it be git, not svn?

(Reading this message at every layman upgrade has annoyed me for awhile.  Today I decided to actually do the numbers and file this bug... as trivial.)
