So "no routine root access", then.

Really? I thought Perforce was pretty good about integration with
just about everything. Oh, well... Eclipse integration with CVS wasn't
all that great anyway.  Last I dealt with it, they didn't support
local access, and had no intention of doing so either.

Bah. I've gotten annoyed and having to d/l PDF documents to refer to
something recently.  A lot of false positives (documents that turn out
to be not worth the time and effort to look at), and I'm starting to
wonder why I trust the PDF readers.

Well, teaching 'em to use SSH is a good thing too.  I've worked with
folks who thought "NetMeeting" was a *great* way to remotely log in
to a machine to kick a daemon.... and you can't use a UNIX machine to
run the daemon, 'cuz there's no way to remotely log in...

*sigh*

Is that what caused the nightmare with CVS last time?

hm....

I really need to see if SVN is worth spinning up; I can't find any
mention on the website of what the minimum dependency chain is.  You're
about to find that out, I suspect...
