Given the current (and past) dicussions, that's practically a troll. :) > I already know how to use CVS and I don't really want to learn yet > another set of commands. If you're just fooling around, and only using stock linux and MS machines, you can use SVN. Similiar command and day-in-the-life view as CVS, but it's New! And! Shiny! If you're not part of the All-the-world-is-Linux-and-MSWindows, nail down just what it is that you're using, and see if SVN might work for you given a particular level of effort. (I also wouldn't trust SVN for anything significant, as it's still quite young and they started off like M$ -- lots of features and hype, instead of a minimalist core. But that's me. YMMV.) For me, CVS is Good Enough. If I can accept the restrictions that come with SVN, I can go all the way to Perforce, which isn't TOO alien a worldview for a CVS user (although it is a bit; you'll want to print the manual). No opinion on TLA or Mecurial, or Bitkeeper, etc. I'd avoid SourceSafe and ClearCase, however. -- _ |\_ \| -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
