10/3    Is there a command in cvs that'll tell me what files I've
        editted/changed from the original cvs update?  \_ Use the -n flag.
        I normally use cvs -n update.  \_ Do you have to use CVS or can
        you migrate to something else?
           \_ Yeah, subversion is quite nice.  I hated it at first, though
              \_ How do you find out what files I've editted in svn?
                 \_ svn status -q
              \_ Subversion has a lot of FUCKED concepts.  Like how tags
                 and branches actually move the path to your files.
                 However compared to cvs, svn wins.  \_ ??? The biggest
                 problems are:
                    1) lack of automated merge suppport (big improvements
                    planned for next version), and 2) 'move' is actually
                    'cp and rm'  (don't know when this is expected
                    to change).  \_ I'm not a revision control expert.
                    Why is move being a
                       cp and rm a bad thing? -dans \_ Heh.  Work answers
                       all:
                          So a little while back I renamed some
                          branches. Seems pretty okay, right? Anyone
                          with a checked-out copy can just svn switch...
                          ... except that svn considers the mv internally
                          to be svn cp + svn rm, so it has now forgotten
                          the revision history on that branch prior to
                          the svn mv. So if you, like me, do svn log
                          . --stop-on-copy to get a look at a glance at
                          what changes have been made since the branch
                          was cut, you can't.  Q: Are there other things
                          that go wrong with svn mv?  -dans \_ Branch.
                          Do a mv on a file.  Edit file.  Merge.
                             Pain happens. -aspo

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

1/10    In subversion (svn) is there a way to check out a file from
        a different BRANCH for diff purposes?
        \_ More specifically, do you want to compare your working copy of
           file.c with one in a branch?  Or do you want to compare the

10/24   So why is Firefox at 2.0 now?  Granted this revision is a bit bigger
        than most minor revisions, but neither the program architecture or
        plugin interface changed much.

6/14    I am thinking of getting a 17" Macbook Pro to replace my 17"
        Powerbook G4. I haven't been following CPUs lately. Is there any
        reason to wait (i.e. something better is just around the corner)?
        \_ merom is supposed to be released around september.  it will be
           64 bit and use less power than the current chip.  if you can wait
           that long, you might as well.
