[Followups set to e-mail] MCVS manages an alternate representation for a file system tree, which allows changes in the directory structure to be stored in CVS. Acting as a CVS front end, MCVS replaces the cvs command with mcvs. So one can do mcvs checkout, mcvs add, mcvs update and so on. There is also mcvs move which has no corresponding cvs command. The directory structure is not only versioned by can be subject to outright parallel development: merging, conflict] resolution. What's more, diffs can be made over the MCVS representation, so diff and patch are effectively amplified to handle renames.
MCVS currently requires Linux, and CLISP 2.27. The Linux system must also have /dev/urandom. MCVS is written in Common Lisp with some reliance on CLISP bindings to glibc2 to get to a few essential system calls. It requires no changes to CVS whatsoever, neither client nor server side. However, existing CVS projects have to be re-imported as MCVS until a conversion tool is developed. This is a very alpha, even pre-alpha, release, accordingly numbered 0.0. But the software is already being used to version-control itself. :) http://users.footprints.net/~kaz/mcvs.html _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
