Well said Kim. I agree completely. I'd like to see a multi-connection test of cvs vs svn, but I also won't promise to set it up myself. :) It was nice of raster to open this debate, but we have running servers with cvs (and webvc) and should really have a compelling reason to move. As you can see, I'm not much of a fan of change for change's sake. ;) -- Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
