I certainly am in favour of something along those lines. I am tracking the snapshots that cyclic are making, and I'm seeing many, many nice things that we could really use on freefall. The remote commit stuff is very nice, and would be an absolute godsend for people working over slow links to the USA. I dont think it's practical to actually avoid the need for a complete local tree, unless you have fast and *reliable* access to freefall (ethernet, T1, etc). I am aware of a couple of new problems introduced with the death support though. It appears that it's damn near impossible to remove a file from a branch and re-add it again.. You appear to have to go and remove the "dead" marker with the rcs command. Not exactly a show-stopper, but it'd be nice if it was fixed.. :-) > Nate Cheers, -Peter
