I don't know that you'll get a consensus... ;-) I'm somewhere in between Ted and David. I use the following: * MindTerm for connectivity to the Apache servers (CVS tunnel, scp, mail). * WinCVS for updating my CVS trees and diffs. * Command line CVS for checkins. * Cygwin for creating and applying patches. I prefer MindTerm over PuTTY, especially when ssh-ing in and working on the Apache servers. It just seems to work better for me, especially in terms of default settings, timeouts, etc. Why do I use command line CVS for checkins? Well, I like to use the CVS template, and none of the GUI tools I've tried seems to pick that up. Also, WinCVS, at least, doesn't play nice with line ends (which is more important when the log message actually goes into the source file, but I still prefer to have the breaks in the right places). As Ted mentioned, a lot of people seem to like TortoiseCVS. I tried that a while ago, but I didn't like it at all. (In fact, it's my *least* favourite CVS GUI client. ;) -- Martin Cooper > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
