Re: version control

[Erik Williamson]

I'm moving my group to subversion - which I'm completely new to.  It's 
working great though - so far.  I use a post-commit hook to publish 
updates to the cfengine area, as well as to do some other buisness (we 
use a home-cooked XML host management system, and the mail XML file gets 
chewed on here, creating a bevvy of other files).

Best,
Erik.
