[cvsnt] CVS for non-technie users

James,

Take a look at tortoisecvs : this integrates in a great way into windows 
explorer.

[cvsnt] CVS for non-technie users






Hi

A customer I'm working with has a requirement to roll out a file-sharing 
system to users in various locations - for various reasons they don't want 
to use SharePoint, and we're looking at alternatives. The key requirements 
are to be able to store files on a central server, and for ordinary, 
non-technical users to be able to set up clients with a minimum of 
technical support (ideally none at all). Version control is less 
important, although it's a nice-to-have.

I'm completely new to CVS/CVSNT, but it seems that the server 
functionality is pretty much what we're looking for. But, I'm not too 
convinced that the client software that's around is able to be set up by 
someone without a bit of understanding of the protocols involved, or that 
it's really able to provide a seemless interface for users used to a 
normal Windows Explorer type of environment.

So my question is, does anyone out there have any experience of using 
CVS(NT) for this kind of project, and if so can you give me any useful 
pointers as to the possible way forward? Alternatively, if anyone has a 
strong opinion that CVS isn't suitable for this, that would also be useful 
information.

Thanks in advance for your help
James
