Some windows users where I work use both. At first glance it seems redundant. TortiseCVS (as Dey states) is great for simple update, commit etc.. So if you already have repositories set up, it provides a simple way to access your code. WinCVS OTOH provides greater control and detail about the repositories. So if you want to add /remove files or directories or get detailed history, it may be better.
(Personally, I find that nothing beats the ol' cvs co on the command line... which CVSNT.exe provides.) --Xapp On Thu, 10 Mar 2005 13:40:17 -0000, Dey Arindam, Milton Keynes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > TortoiseCVS plugs onto the users local machine i.e. the Windows explorer > allowing the user carry out CVS operation (Update,Commit etc) from the > windows explorer ,thus basic authentication and authorization process (Login > etc.) does not have to be carried every time you use CVS. > > Alternately WinCVS is a standalone client application which allows user with > a bit more flexibility i.e. a console providing details about the recently > carried operations....a detailed description about the files the user is > working on i.e. Version no, Type of file(binary, text etc),Current status > etc. > > WinCVS can be loaded on a middleware i.e. CITRIX metaframe which allows > secure remote access to the CVS repository to all users, independent of any > geographical location. > > Both are worth trying.... > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Gleidson S� Barreto > > Sent: 10 March 2005 12:02 > To: [email protected] > Subject: front-end > > What better front-end? wincvs or tortoisecvs? why? > > > > > > _______________________________________________________ > Yahoo!
