Sure -- just about every "next generation" OSS version control tool gets this right, or at least does a lot better than CVS -- i.e. svn, monotone, arch, darchs, and possibly others I haven't heard of. Gavin and I have been using Monotone for a few weeks now to manage some development we're doing. I've been really impressed with it -- conceptually, it just "makes sense". Unfortunately the implementation is currently too immature to consider moving the main development tree onto, at least for the moment. -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
