So, it's good to hear that I'm not the only person to use this

thanks.
Sorry, was running on very little sleep at the time. That's what I
meant to write
Ok, I haven't looked into MacCVSPro, but I will now. What do you mean
when you say attach MacCVSPro to cvs server. I'm lost there. But
maybe when I look over MacCVSPro that will make sense.
What I mean is, that the typical way cvs is run remotely is via the
'cvs server' command - either with pserver from inetd or the
equivalent, or via rsh/$CVS_RSH (generally ssh these days). There's
nothing stopping you from using 'cvs server' locally to do the same
thing, that way you could reuse the protocol support from MacCVS Pro,
even though MacCVS Pro doesn't support local repositories. This is
assuming you even care about supporting local repositories.
Thanks, that makes a whole lot more sense now.
I have similar sentiments, but the objective is not just to support
what I would use, but to assist folks in what they need to use?which
all too many of us find is CVS. CVS is admirable for it's goals and
efforts, but perhaps by not supporting it one could encourage others
to
switch. Probably not. I guess I could include it as legacy support
and
provide tools to help the user switch to some other SCM system. I
have
to consider this a bit more ....
Thanks. I guess I am too used to hearing the "CVS is good enough"
mantra from everyone. :)
I generally find it frustrating, not good enough. And yeah, what's
with that mantra? I think I'm sold on the "parse the output"
approach, and I'll probably bundle the executable. And now on the
mapping out the subversion support ...
