I'm truly interested in anything that makes >my life simpler. Lots of switches which affect what is transferred. That may be versatility but I think it's useless. SVN is just svn update and there you have it. That is achieved with clone, pull and -r get in BK. How does BK do diffs? SVN is svn diff -r145:146 and it's there. SVN's bigger problem seems to be that files are actually copied when they're tagged. I love that, but I could see it flooding the hard drive. Apparently they're just tagged in the server-side database, but it's transparent copying. That's a fair trade-off for anything CVS can throw at me ;) I have to admit, though, that I lack experience in BK, and may find the options, switches and knobs simpler if I got into it. But I don't see the need... [1] Damn how much I hate computers sometimes. Like I wouldn't have more pressing matters than some broken python cgi... -- mjt
