Honestly (no Robert lie)? None really, but tells me this is version 1
revision 6 of the app file, and that it's build 001. As opposed to version
1 revision 7. With web-based software it matters, I have all my
developers, including HTML coders working with CVS, and we're not going to
make an installer to figure out where things are. I would much rather it
be done in CVS since I can give our clients anonymous access to download
the updates as we finish them up. The updates don't necessarily require us
to branch out or start a new version. They just might be revisions within
the same source.
I certainly didn't mean to start a huge debate about it. A yes or no
answer would have been good enough, but thanks for pointing all this
out. :-) We can deal with the versioning as it is.
