I actually like Perforce better than I like SVN, mostly because it has true labels/tags, and SVN has decided that it doesn't need them, and can approximate them with virtual copies (hokey). There is, of course, the question of OSS purity, and we all react to that differently and perhaps differently at different times. Nevertheless, in the spirit of helpfulness: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/practicalperforce/index.html Of course the first thing you'll notice is that this costs $39.95 and the SVN book is downloadable, even though printed by the same publisher. Which is exactly what I'm saying. -- Lan Barnes Linux Guy, SCM Specialist Tcl/Tk Enthusiast It's simple confusion to say science can't explain certain things; therefore, we have to be religious. To equate that kind of religiousness with belief in a personal, intelligent being, that's confusion. - Richard Dawkins -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
