"For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem"

Not affiliated, I just built a little tool to make my life easier and thought I'd share

I think it's cool. Thanks for sharing

Can you please not post shallow dismissals of other people's work? This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

It's important, when people share something they've made on HN, that they don't run into this sort of bilious internet putdown.

Edit - these are other examples of the same thing (i.e. the thing we don't want in HN threads, and which we'd appreciate if you'd not do any more of):

It's great and clearly the community appreciates it! I'll put Show HN in the title since that's the convention for sharing one's projects on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html).

Btw, do you want to include some text giving the backstory of how you came to work on this, and explaining what's different about it? that's also the convention. If you post it in a reply to this comment, I'll move your text to the top of the thread.
