Yep, OK's the word... it's much to web-centered for my taste,
especially when you consider the prices for online time in these
parts...
But OTOH, it's a service that no-one else found necessary to provide
(yes, I know that there were Org which gave out CVS repos and
stuff... but none of those were as easy to get into as SF).

Misfeature, no bug ;-) And I heartily agree, CVS is not very
forgiving.

If we can agree that these things are not bugs, but rather
misfeatures... would you mind to rephrase that in terms of
"forgivingness"? >;-)

I know that feeling...
Anyway, I don't care very much about CVS anymore. Why? Well, saunter
over to
subversion.tigris.org
and look around. They're redoing CVS in a sense... now that seems
preposterous at first... but then I looked over the list of
developers, and I think this "just might work". They're no
newbies...
First proof-of-concept release is planned for September... but we all
know how those things go, right? ;-)
Bye, J
