[cvsnt] Re: Converting from CVS to CVSNT

[Arthur Barrett]

Shawn,

Moving back may or may not work depending on what has been done.

What sort of problems are some users experiencing?  It'll probably be
easier to rectify that than change again.  Also CVSNT is completely
backward compatible with CVS 1.11 so I've never heard of someone needing
to "move back".

Finally CM in a commercial environment probably should not be "developer
opinion driven".  CM has an overhead /cost to it that should be offset
to a business benefit (eg: audit req.).  Therefore moving back to CVS
may also remove the business benefit (eg: audit) so you'll be left with
the overhead but no benefit.

Regards,


Arthur

Moving to CVSNT works. What about moving back?

Example: I move to CVSNT. It works great for some users but not for
others. Now I need to move back to CVS. Will CVS have any trouble with
files committed to CVSNT?

Thanks,
Shawn
