Even right now, if you have to debug and find where things were broken, you don't have a repo snapshot to test, you have to go per-date and later do fine tuning on your files... it's really unhelpful. The main problem is: people don't really use a SCM in E development, just use something to publish your changes upstream... then sure, CVS does that fine, but almost nothing more... since you don't use these other things, then you don't really miss then. It's a real pitty. :-( -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri -------------------------------------- Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ#: 17249123 Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (81) 9927 0010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
