[cvsnt] cvs / subversion discussion

It will probably be pretty easy for us in the user community to develop
configuration scripts for different database flavors. 

My database experience is a little rusty but wouldn't only one SQL
script be needed set up the tables in the database, regardless of the
flavor. Or will cvsnt handle all of that?

Mostly for storage...  It's a lot more efficient when there are non-text
files
in the repository.  I'll probably stick with text merges for the actual
protocol.

Once the sql interface is there writing for a different one is
relatively
trivial...  I could probably support anything I can install and test
here,
eventually.  Initial development is being done with mysql, though.

It'll be relatively simple if the database is available already... I'm
not
going to get into bundling databases :)  Luckily mysql is pretty easy to
configure.
