I have been playing with it myself over the last couple of days and I really like what I see. As backgound, I have been using CVS for ages (poorly) but was never quite happy with it. The lack of atomic commits and the difficult of enforcing policy were my main gripes but certainly not the only ones. I have also had three attempts to use Peter Miller's Aegis which Peter demoed at SLUG earlier this year. As much as I liked the ideas behind Aegis, I was simply not able to use if for my main projects which rely quite heavily on autoconf/automake/libtool. Aegis simply does not play well with these tools. It also lacks (out of the box anyway) any way of doing distributed development. TLA however seems to be able to (almost) cover my needs. It has atomic commits and it does distributed development. The one place where TLA currently misses the mark is the ability to run scripts on commit which can fail the commit if say the code fails to build. However, I spent about 10 minutes hacking around in the the TLA code (very clean and well organised) I came up with a patch will provide this facility. Now I just have to hope that Tom Lord et al will accept it :-). So, thanks again Rob (and Tom).
