Pcl-cvs and Psvn Incompatibilities
I think I already mentioned that I’m using both CVS and Subversion now: Subversion at home, CVS at work. In general the similarities between the two make the context switch fairly painless, but there’s one gotcha which keeps on getting me.
I use pcl-cvs as my CVS client: it’s not perfect but it’s more
than good enough if you’re prepared to use the cvs command line
client every so often for advanced merging and similar. One of the
