perhaps someone could create a project at Darwin?

but, to be honest, I think it would look a little odd to tie ourselves to a
site so closely associated with one operating system, and a company which
is not known for its open source credentials. yes, I am sure Apple are 
being good
people these days, but you cannot get rid of historial baggage that quickly.

have you tried the CVS checkout, Fabrice, rather than the pinging etc?

as in "p4 sync ...", in fact :-}

I am afraid I see no evidence yet that Perforce is not, technically, 
much better than CVS!

Anyway, I just spent my own pennies on a book about CVS, in the 
expectation of having to use it. Sigh.
Its bad enough at work having to learn Subversion.
