That's the plan for the next stage, provided that the first stage goes well. I'm yet to play with CVSup and see if it can be integrated there (as with system()) easily without making a lot of changes to CVS itself. Otherwise I'm aftarid it's going to be a large amount of work to duplicate this functionality :-( Yet another idea is to be able to make "local commits" with committing them to the central remote repository later. Now I have to use RCS locally for the temporary in-delevopment versions of file. Would be nice to have a kind of a local branch which can be later committed as a whole - in one commit per file, or by duplicating all the intermediate versions with their messages. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
