And CVS, which requires a constant net connection for working or comparing with anything but the currently checked-out work copy, is supposed to be less worrisome than a system where you can work with your own private repository off-line, including all the diff and branching machinery? You are flaunting a fundamental weakness of CVS (and other centralized SCMs) in _support_ of it? I am afraid that I still can't read any sense into your argument. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
