I thought “svn”, I typed “cvs”. Hrrm… sounds about right.
In other revision control news, using quilt to manage work-in-progress patches in conjunction with BK is proving really, really great. I feel like an idiot having lived this long and not worked this way.
I have a feeling that if git was being used I’d just do everything there as it’s so quick anyway. I haven’t used bzr on these sorts of size of repos yet, but it should be good too.
I’m stuck on an almost inhouse version control system built on something built on something built on SCCS. Oh well, at least it can now do diffs between the working version and an arbitrary prior version now, but I can’t supply flags to diff because that part is run on the server side.
In related news, I do similar things to your cvs for svn all the time. And not just in front of the computer. I haven’t had instant coffee for about a decade, and yet twice in the past couple of months I’ve been drinking plunger coffee, I’ve poured the grounds into the coffee cup instead of the plunger.
