Well, in its current state, but it's long term goal is versioning, locking
etc..

I presumed (maybe I shouldn't have) that the features Herman was after was
the ability to edit files (as he didn't have cf on the box in question) on a
remote server so no debugging, and I'd actually forgotten about the DB stuff
!! Helpful for beginners though.

Yeah, well that's what I get for trusting what others tell me :-) I don't
use RDS at all. Should be able to build something that works from TCPDump
traffic though...

So I just realized :-)  What I love to do is to able to browse a cvs source,
like you can in RDS, check out/in files etc... Do you know of anyway of
intergrading a com or other into the Files tab?

Cheers
