Normally, Lan, I think that you're generally full of wisdom and useful insights. However, when you dispense this sort of advice, I wonder what you're smoking. . . > Use subversion for real projects, RCS for simple applications. CVS > belongs in the ash heap with SCCS. CVS is at least as good as RCS, and generally better. Subversion still hasn't reached the point where I'll let it touch my code. The Subversion developers seem to have taken the mythical arrogance of the CVS developers as a baseline. > RCS and a simple cron script can do a good enough job of automatically > backing up a set of files.

I suspect that darcs or arch might work as well, except that a history-based system is more appropriate than a patch-based system. -Stewart "SVN is saddled with featurism and all-the-world thinking."
