No, but I have used CVS enough to know it should work except for one little
feature. The standard locking model for CVS allows anyone to change a file.
CVS then attempts to merge the changes on check-in. This works very well for
text files, but not at all for binary files.

You should either change the locking model for the ROSE files, or maybe save
them as "ptl" files (which I *think* are text files). You should experiment
with the second method, since when you *do* get conflicts, you will have to
manually resolve them!

I am a big fan of CVS, since it is much easier to manage. Using the default
locking model, you don't have to chase the culprit down when they lock a
file and leave town, since you don't lock files. It is also a true, fairly
reliable client server model, which works pretty well for distributed
development environments: you don't need a heavy-weight file server (LAN
Manager, NFS, etc.) protocol to share the repository.

Has anyone ever used CVS (version control system) as a CM system for Rose?
