Re: OT: CVS and CW

Bryan:

I'm curious which CVS plug-in do people use? The one from Metrowerks or the
one from ElectricFish? And which version?

I'm a bit biased, since I pushed hard to get some features like quasi-locking of binary files into the Electric Fish plug-in, but that's my choice.

And then the follow-up to that is whether MacCvsX or MacCVS Pro is used and
its version?

Looks like I use maccvs 3.2b12.

Glenn:

If I was working with a SCCS that required check-out before modification, I
would use a plug-in, but since CVS is a MRO-merge process, I don't even
bother anymore (

Technically this is true, but in practice, with multiple people, having the quasi-locking was a huge win. (I call it "quasi-" because CVS doesn't enforce or require it, and if you go behind the plug-in's back, you'll probably confuse it.)

I don't see how anyone could not use a plug-in, so that you can use CodeWarrior's excellent file comparison window when seeing what you've changed so you can write the change comment.
