Sannyasin,
Take a look into Magic Carpet by Altuit, it's a wonderfull Version Control System, can be used as a plugin in Rev and do everything you said in your tread. I am using it here, and I'll never touch CVS again... =)
Cheers andre

Aloha,
Interesting... I was just about to open up a similar OT thread
"Does anyone know of a Rev GUI to act as an RCS for CVS"
In my context I'm interesting in keeping a repository of specification documents, task rosters etc. easily viewable and searchable as .html docs on the web site. Certain team players would have editing privileges, and could view them and if they wanted to edit, click a button and edit, but other users would be locked out if an edit was in progress. The system should have an option to add comments if possible, not only to the document, but as a kind of meta data to the document itself, which detailed briefly the nature of the revision update.
like "Andre: I just added new criteria for the transcription process."
Adobe has added all this functionality to their CS suite "Version Cue"... and, though it's slow and clunky, it works. A rev version for a html/web repository would be lightening fast.
I don't know if this what you are doing by it seems to be a related area... btw the "token" is sometimes referred to also as a "semaphore file"
A Rev widget, standalone editor to interface with the site would be equally acceptable (for those having editing privileges) as the html docs will be very simply formatted, well within the range of Rev's HTML tag set.
I'm sure this has wheel has been rolled before...of course the cmd line is there for wizards who can do the RCS thing from the unix cmd line if they have root access to the server, but this won't work for "secretary" level users, who just know how to type and click. And the security issue would never allow for expansion of the number of people with root access, so a GUI is needed to have more team players with edit privileges.
But, perhaps you user role here is completely something other than what I'm describing.

Hello Andre,
Thanks for confirming. I also imagine that there's some kind of environmental variable that could be used as a token to distinguish among those instances of Revolution or the identity or addresses of the clients.
