[closer-devel] CVS or Darcs?

[Pascal Costanza]

Hi,

I am currently finalizing a new release of MOP feature tests and  
Closer to MOP. In order to ease future updates I am considering to  
use a code revision system. The two best options I can see are CVS  
and Darcs. CVS has the advantage that it is widely used and directly  
supported by common-lisp.net. On the other hand, Darcs seems to have  
a conceptually much simpler model and, for example, eases checkouts  
and distributed development. (For example, for checkout, a tool like  
wget is totally sufficient.)

See http://www.gnu.org/software/cvs/ for CVS and http:// 
www.darcs.net/ for Darcs. Bill Clementson has recently discussed  
Darcs at http://bc.tech.coop/blog/050710.html

Does anyone of you have a strong opinion in this regard? Currently, I  
have a slight tendency towards Darcs, but both options would probably  
be fine for me.

Any commenst are highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Pascal
