Monotone

While reading Chris Blizzard's blog, I came across a link to Monotone, a new (to me) version control system. Since most of my working day is spent working with CVS and possibly Subversion in the future, I always like to keep my eye on this space.

Monotone looks interesting. I haven't tried to install it yet but I think I will over the weekend.

One benefit is that the idea of a distributed system is built in from the start. It's not that difficult to get a local CVS repository up-and-running so you can commit things locally and keep the history. The problem is when you try and sync that to a master repository somewhere. CVS really doesn't like that and invariably things get merged badly and you have conflicts.
