Good call on just using the memory address as the identifier, forgot about that. Where is the binary server patches svn located at? I am not too familiar with text protocol but I'll give it a shot. Do we have any C clients for the binary protocol yet?<br><div contenteditable="false"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div>Chris Goffinet</div><div><a href="mailto:goffinet@yahoo-inc.com">goffinet@yahoo-inc.com</a></div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span> </div><br><div><div>On Sep 8, 2007, at 1:28 AM, Dustin Sallings wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><br><div><div>On Sep 8, 2007, at 1:16, Chris Goffinet wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div>Does "gets" only assign when called at that point the 64 bit unique value, or are you setting every object that is cache a unique identifier?</div></span></blockquote><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I guess there's no real need to define that.
