svn commit: r1388731 - /subversion/site/publish/faq.html
Author: julianfoad
Date: Sat Sep 22 01:59:55 2012
New Revision: 1388731
URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1388731&view=rev
Log:
Update two antiquated FAQs about what Subversion was attempting to be, to
better reflect its current status and not sound like a start-up project.
* site/publish/faq.html
(Table of Contents): Rename "Why does this project exist?" to "Why does
Subversion exist?".
(why, feature-x): Remove the old reasons for creating Subversion and link
to Our Vision on the front page instead.
