Yes, it is a bit of an issue for CVS. Once checked out all is okay. If you want you can set up a batch file to check in/commit the changes in all the folders in a single hit.
I quite often have the same CVS module checked out to multiple folders - which I find very useful. We went away from IDE integration, as then you have to wait for the vendor to supply an upgrade (that works) for the next release. Plus you can check in help source files, word docs, images etc etc. CVS works well over a modem too. Myles -----Original Message----- From: Rohit Gupta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 5 November 2003 11:41 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: CVS We have just started experimenting with CVS and Tortoise. The main problem is that it does not know about projects - to it a project is under a rootdirectory. Our stuff isnt structured that way. And I also wanted to checkin bpls which are on a totally different drive. I coudl still check them in but I cant check the same bpl (or any other shared file) more than once for different projects under different modules. The other problem is that because again it does not support projects, working with the explorer (which sucks to begin with) is a double pain. We have come across athlant manager that appears quite good. It integrates with the IDE and knows about projects. It also knows that you cant check in.out just the pas you have to do the related dfm and dcu too. And one can still use CVS or tortoise at the same time. It costs - about $300 US per user.. but thats not as bad several thousands of dollars. Question ======= Has anyone had any experience with athlant ? Was it good ? Were there any problems ? Source for one =========== As an aside I found delphi source for another IDE integrated CVS driver - left in alpha stage over a year ago, Other VCSs ========= I have had a relook at most of them... primary reason to discard them is that we need concurrent checkouts - otherwise Teamsource is superior. :-) Regards Rohit ================================================================= ===== CFL - Computer Fanatics Ltd. 21 Barry's Point Road, AKL, New Zealand PH (649) 489-2280 FX (649) 489-2290 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= ===== --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
