Wrong. Neither CVS nor SVN work that way. The repository can be local or remote. Locally one can access the repository files directly or indirectly through a "server" app. Once you have defined the repository location (and method) for a project that information sticks in the project. One can freely jump between projects which use different repositories. One of the biggest mistakes made in Microsoft environments is to put the repository on a shared filesystem with multiple users accessing via direct file methods. With possibly different apps simultaneously modifying the repository one is asking for trouble, and will get it. MacOS X comes with SVN preinstalled. Or maybe its in Xcode, don't know where it comes from. Also comes with ssh. Its a minor hassle to set up ssh for users but once done svn has no trouble using ssh for remote access. Forks are clumsy in SVN, but not all that difficult. You have to arrange folders for each branch of the fork. I still use cvs on some projects simply because the project has always been in cvs and has no pressing reason to change. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dke...@hiwaay.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
