I used RCS on 2K SLOC projects years ago already and never found it to be "too bloated". No, I could actually look at the change log and diffs from weeks ago and see why the code was broken now. > Nevertheless, it's the > easiest way to have "manual" version control. :D And about the most error-prone. Believe me, I speak from experience. One of my co-workers used "manual" version control by renaming and moving files around (and even now his code is on SVN, he still does it - bad habits die hard, I guess). No joke, but there was not one single version he had given me as "the latest" which actually matched his "tested" development copy. Despite all his effort[1], there were always "differences" and "bugs he already fixed" appearing at the beta test site once I installed "the exact same copy" of his development tree from his PC. Vinzent. [1] I'd rather be lazy than spending hours and hours finding out what the hell went wrong. After all, my laziness lend me to believe that software developer is the right profession for me. And so far, it worked out for me. :) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
