I would say no. All these other revision systems seem to come and go, but their supposed features rarely seem to justify the learning curve (the frequently steep, time consuming, and frustrating curve :-). > waiting for "cvs diff" to complete for ages. ;-) Emacs can work offline for diffs, for the most part. (I never had much joy when it merges, but I'm sure someone must have set it up to update its cached current copy.) > This means that GNU-style change logs can be generated > automatically using tools like `git2cl' [4].
