Yes, and it does scale. You can have as many respositories as you need. Or even remote ones in different locations that mirror repositories at your present location. We switched from VSS to CVS for a few reasons. 1. its free. 2. it handles branching better. 3. unlike vss, cvs does not make copies of the files every time you change it, so it takes up a lot less disk space. I cannot even think of a company that would be to big for CVS.
Good luck convincing them of this change. BTW, we use CVSNT here, as we don't have any Unix systems in house or in use.

Hi All, I am trying to convince upper level management that CVS is a good choice as a version control system. Their main contra argument is that it does not scale. So, can you please give me some real world experiences on which big projects you used it. (Number of people, lines of code, distributed, ...) Also, names of well known companies CVS would help. (I think NASA is one, but I am not sure) With these numbers at hand I hope that I can convince them. Please reply ;) Thanks, Ralph __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
