As far as I remember, yes. Vault will apply repository deletions to a working copy if you tell it to. Vault is also client/server, meaning it is suited for use across a WAN (arguably more common now than 10 years ago). Vault also support atomic commits which also become important when WANs are involved. We looked at Vault, liked it, but settled on Subversion. I think Vault is well suited to developers who are used to VSS. For us, we had been using CVS for years so Subversion was more natural. > More importantly, does Draco do Vault? :) I found a posting on Vault's mailing lists suggesting someone has written one. It's not in the main Draco codebase however. Vault has a pretty clean all .NET API, so integration is probably easy. > > [With regards to the actual thread topic: using NAnt to get > latest into the same location every time instead of relying > on Draco for that purpose would seem to be preferable rather > than adding more complexity to the very lean, sharp Draco > feature set. Unless Chive wants to turn Draco into a > full-blown build tool to rival NAnt and MSBuild...] I like the idea of allowing a working directory to be specified to override Draco generated ones. This will give users options and does not bloat Draco in my opinion. Draco is the glue between SCC and build tools, ideally the build tool should know nothing about the SCC system (or Draco). The dependency diagram should be something like: SCC <- Draco -> Build Tool I agree with you that Draco should remain very lean and sharp. I can't see it ever rivaling NAnt and MSBuild, it's just glue.
