Keep an eye on the Subversion project (http://subversion.tigris.org). In short, Subversion is the successor to CVS. Subversions looks a lot like CVS, and is both open source and free. In Subversion, diffs are performed on the client side, and the system is pluggable. This means that you can provide your own diff program on the client to generate diffs. You can, therefore, plug in something like xmldiff (or some in-house built or binary based diff solution) to do the diffs and avoid the ASCII diff overhead. - --- SER -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9eJMfP0KxygnleI8RAibRAJ9mhM8hmYPaGzjUsnfGAvOga8IsuQCgy8UV Sv8PlxPoS7UPMRWztx8uuMA= =FgvH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
