The trade-off is that you have to read the entire file in order to verify the checksum. Since SCCS has to read the entire file anyway, there's no additional overhead. RCS, on the other hand, doesn't have to read all of the diffs, particularly if you're just checking out the head revision which, in the RCS philosophy, is by far the most common operation. -Larry Jones Wow, how existential can you get? -- Hobbes _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
