Did you not yet read Berliner's paper? Did you not yet read Dick Grune's descriptions of why he wrote the original CVS (early 1986)? CVS was always an entirely a practical solution to very practical and day-to-day problems. It broke no really new ground. Other tools have employed the same parallel development methodology long before Dick Grune introduced his CVS to the world. There is nothing "academic" about CVS whatsoever. -- Greg A.
