Hi everyone, I think a few developers have brought up the idea of switching to Subversion in the past, but there has never really been any discussion about it. Should we stick with CVS, or move to Subversion.
I place my vote on moving to Subversion. In short, Subversion is a better CVS, and has been developed solely to fix many of the problems inherent in CVS. Subversion lets you do atomic transactional commits. If there is an error halfway in the middle, the whole commit fails, so you don't end up with a corrupted repository. It lets you easily rename, move, and remove files and directories. In subversion, the directories themselves are versioned. Tagging and branching is much faster. What does everyone think? Sourceforge has very good documentation about how to do the CVS->Subversion upgrade: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=31070&group_id=1#import -Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
