No, it started as a glorified version of the "store a patch version between versions while incrementing the version number" school of manual version control. However (crucially) it did a good job of keeping track of merges and other version history, which is really why it's more useful that simply making patch files yourself. I dunno, maybe arch 2 is going more for the "glorified verison of cp -al" method... :-/ -miles -- `There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.' _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
