I rebutted that by quoting him saying something in contradiction with your statement. Add to that the fact that you called Ruby an immature language, and said that Rake sucks for some unrelated reason. > >> Rephorm made his site in Rails, so did Atmos.

No branching. No tagging. No annotation. Website content doesn't need tagging, branching or even necessarily revision control. You can easily add revisioned pages to websites with wikis, or whatever other method you want. The CODE for the website is another thing altogether, and I agree that CVS is a fine method of SCM for that. > >> It's silly to get CVS access to do web updates.
