IANAE on VCSs but I have been doing a=20 lot of reading of late concerning the=20 differences between VCSs. I really=20 believe SVN has some extremely=20 compelling features but the way it=20 does/does not do its tagging is, I=20 believe, an important concern. If I=20 understand correctly it is the whole=20 repository that gets a version number=20 and not individual files. Here is one of the URIs I used for=20 information which is a feature summary=20 and comparion (by no means exhaustive)=20 between CVS and SVN. http://www.pushok.com/soft_svn_vscvs.php Best regards, =2D-Duane
