CVS works on individual files. SVN works on a subset of a directory. ZFS works on whole file systems. You want to save snapshots or revs of individual files, upon writes. Saves, Closes, etc. The closest I know to get what you want is ... Google Docs Alfresco Sharepoint There's probably something... I'm sure this isn't the first time anyone ever thought of that. But the answer isn't ZFS. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
