Yes, I did use tla on a day-to-day basis on Windows. I ended up using the path compression version (using the dos8.3 hack) the most, but I used the =dirnames version (or a modified one) for a while, and then I used my own hack (where I used a regex to change c/c-b/c-b-v => c-b-v/ in the checkout, and filtered it back at commit time). I ended up using baz with the dos8.3 path compression, simply because it ended up being the fastest and easiest to use. One of the biggies was having it automatically add a commit to the revision library, rather than uploading it, and then downloading it again. I probably still have my tla path compression available in [EMAIL PROTECTED]/tla--pcomp--1.3.1 (It requires cygwin) My baz changes are available in: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/dists--baz-pcomp--1.5 And binaries are available here: http://bazaar.canonical.com/Downloads/ On the other hand, I've switched to bazaar-ng for any new projects. So I'm slowly phasing out my day-to-day usage. John =:->
