The extra rcs features we get are; keeping the site images with the actual website code so if image dimensions change we can still recover previous versions and for example if someone uploads an inappropriate image we can just do 'bzr revert' to take the directory back to its previous state. No doubt there are plenty more good examples too. Dean -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Is it similar to using (for example) scp to upload to a remote directory, but with revision control?
