Hmm, sounds a bit like you need bzr instead. Bzr is designed for disconnected development. http://bazaar-vcs.org/ It has fixed a couple of the annoyances that CVS suffer from but of course also has a few drawbacks. The cmd line interface is pretty much like CVS so the transition is easy - I use both CVS and BZR. Advantages: - works well without central repository - works fine in "disconnected" state on your local box - meta data is also revision controlled - that includes permissions and file names - revision numbers are for the whole module, not the individual files Disadvantages: - requires python - centralized respository is not so well supported yet - does not have the amount of 3rd party tools that CVS has (GUIs and WEB intrgration etc) - it's quite new (though I find it also quite stable) HTH Holger _______________________________________________ info-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
