Make that "one of our CVS repository meisters ..." I'm not particularly wild about it myself. For starters, it could use something like "cvs -nq upd". In the project I'm involved with where Perforce is used, I bet that 20% of the submits (== commits) are followed immediately by another one saying, "Oops, these files should have been included in the last submit." I also miss the ability to do diffs between two revisions, neither of which is your current working version. And something equivalent to "cvs ann" would be nice to have, too. The remote depot is nice when network conditions are good. But when they're not, you're just SOL. You might as well go find something else to work on. Other people on the project who know Perforce better than I do seem to like it OK, though. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
