I think Xcode 2.0's SCM implementation is much improved. I see updates to the status of files pretty much immediately when I make a change, which is a nice improvement. And it looks like sticky tags no longer cause the SCM system to crash, which was a bug I reported a while ago. Also, all the basic SCM functions seem to be supported reasonably well, although I haven't tested them all out yet. Fwiw, I changed the "CVS Tool Path" from /usr/bin/ocvs (which is 1.10 Halibut) to /usr/bin/cvs (which is 1.11.18), with no ill effects that I can see.

These comments apply to CVS. I'm trying to get us to switch over to Subversion, ... hopefully eventually.

Oh, and CVL is an excellent app. It's also been updated relatively recently, so make sure you have the latest version <http:// sente.epfl.ch/software/cvl/>.

We currently use CVS as our code repository. I use WinCVS as the client of choice on Windows. On OS X I interact with CVS using the Terminal window. I use MacCvsX sparingly because it can break, but it does most of the unusual things I have to do. I used CVL for a little bit but thought that it was way more hassle than just using a command line for most of the usual things I have to do. I have used Perforce in the past, sparingly, at client's digs, but never got to really know it. We tried to turn on SCM in XCode a while ago and turned it off right away. I've been looking at XCode 2 features as time permits.

We're looking forward to switching to a viable code repository package like a BitKeeper or Arch. We think that Subversion is an excellent incremental revision of CVS that doesn't take us where we want to go.

Considering that Apple Computer has to pick their battles very carefully, I think they're doing an excellent job overall. I can still use XCode with a certain constant degree of irritation.
