Could you point out where development on the scale of RefTeX would be seriously and continuously be hampered by using CVS? I consider it reasonable to pick a version control system that is supported out of the box on the Emacs versions (and that includes Emacs 21.4) for which we want to provide RefTeX support. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
