That old Berkeley db stuff was shit, yes. fsfs seems to do okish (though it's still bloated compared to git *g*). But I didn't see half-commits. And at our companies we *did* switch to svn at Berkeley db times. And I do know some points where svn sucks. >At least we know and understand the bugs and limitations of cvs. >You don't like it - don't use it, but god sake, stop telling people >what your favourite color is and why it should be their favourite >color too. Of course I respect the right of the devs (and finally Theo) to choose. Still I wanted to put forth what *I* (not you or other devs!) like about other systems and what I came to dislike about cvs over the years (and that me, who first was one pressuring to introduce cvs here at work in the first place; then cvs was much better than no version control at all, and then there were definitely no better alternatives available, and first I wasn't really fond of the decision to switch to svn). Kind regards, Hannah.
