Its a good answer for a evil e-mail. Sometimes, things like it cause changes and impact peoples to do the certain things in the right moment.
Its one example of things that i say -> We have had problems with our svn files administrated by Version. In a certain moment one critical project file was locked and using the Version to unlock do not function. Our Server Admin needed to do it manually even the Version had the "Force Unlock" (that no have function... not in this very important moment). This crazy lock problem cause much and much problems for my team. And the bad and the ugly was my developer do the unlock using the Subeclipse....I will not broadcast just and only because your very smart answer and i do not expect anything more from Version, it will be the unique way to believe again in the Version (next versions..) Excluding this (one) problem (of others), Versions is a good software. If i can suggest one thing: Add support (in a planned future) to other version control systems. It will add more value to your software and will make mac developer owners happy (The Versions have the best UI that i used. It need to be said!
