I've been playing around with using Subversion for Ada code.
The problem with using SVN (or any other modern version control
system, for that matter) with Revolution is the fact that the "source
code" (stacks) are binary files. That's okay for simple versioning,
but it is somewhat impossible to "merge" changes of multiple developers.
Unless a Rev stack file format is modified to be text-based, and in
such a way that developers can manage the discrepancies enough to
handle conflict resolution, it is not possible to take full advantage
of SVN (or CVS for that matter) with Revolution projects.
Partial advantage yes (using locking rather than merging, each
developer working with a separate stack file at any given time), but
not full advantage.

Anyone using Subversion out there?
I've been using Subversion for the last 9 months or so to save
changes to
the projects I have been working on. This is not really taking much
advantage of subversion other than saving some disk space as every few
changes are automatically saved (only the differences). I have this
working
on OSX, but it should work just the same on windows and Linux.
There is not
much of an interface yet.
The real use of subversion / cvs is with a team working on a
project - for
instance members of this list working on libraries or components
together. I
have an online subversion repository that I use, with integrated
documentation that I use for my own projects, and was wandering if
there
would be any interest in others on this list using such a tool?
