ooer - I need a new version control system. Stuck with damn Visual Source 
Safe - one of the most poorly designed VC products I have ever worked with ! 
Blech and I used to think CVS sucked ;) Though VSS does have a nice GUI ;)

So how production ready is this system - the page lists it as alpha?

welcome !

I have a request ;) Is there any chance of making the code for creating, 
merging and applying patches and so forth available separat ely - perhaps as 
a cbe-tools.jar ? The reason is that I wanted this style functionality ages 
ago when I was adding something to ant but didn't see anything about in 
OSS/Free software land.
