Re: coaxing scientists to use cvs

is in their own hands. Just don't tie your own Kaz success to theirs, that's all. Yeah! Don't expect anything on them. If they can do the version control properly, it should be treated as a bonus, not an expectation. -- Lee Sau Dan +Z05biGVm

Re: merge mode for XML

! There could be a look up table in CVSROOT to provide the defaults, and then the client will have its own config file to override the defaults. (Like CVSROOT/cvsignore vs. ~/.cvsignore.) -- Lee Sau Dan §õ¦u´°(Big5)~{@nJX6X~}(HZ) E-mail: [EMAIL

Re: merge mode for XML

would be desirable. But one more complication would be the version of these external programs. Maybe, CVS needs to keep track of which version of the tools were used for which file revisions, so as to reliably and faithfully reproduce any snapshot. -- Lee Sau Dan §õ¦u
