Subversion is an effort to improve upon CVS in a number of areas. One such area is revision control. Subversion remembers which changed files were committed in a single commit transaction. These change sets can be viewed later, and reverted.
Subversion has strong migration utilities from CVS. I migrated some of my own projects without problems. Addmittedly they are small. By now the ASF must have collected much experience with such migrations. CVS is the work horse of Open Source. I think it is a good thing to take part in its innovation in the form of Subversion. I am in favour of moving to Subversion at some time in the not too distant future. Regards, Simon On Mon, Jun 14, 2004 at 12:28:42PM +0100, Chris Bowditch wrote: > Glen Mazza wrote: > > >Noted.
