Some simple questions I'd like to see: How to do branching and merging... How to generate and analyze diffs between revisions of large projects... How to resolve updates of the smae file by multiple people - process and strategies, etc..(If this is alot better than Visual Source Safe, I know I can convert our team over to CVS) How to participate in open-source projects on the internet using cvs - overview, checking out, commiting, etc... Just my 2 cents.... Thanks Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: der.hans To: PLUG Discuss Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2001 11:16 AM Subject: Re: Looking for CVS questions > Am 20.
