&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; I am becoming a fast fan of journalling versioning file systems.  These
&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; problems just disappear.
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; &gt;Can you please elaborate on that?
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; Journalling filesystems (loosely speaking) run the filesystem as a
&gt;&gt; journalling database.

&gt;OK, I see - I just jumped at the wrong sentence being under influence of
&gt;my RCS investigations :-))

Have a look at the following:

  <A  HREF="http://www.wv.com/">http://www.wv.com/</A>
  <A  HREF="ftp://ftp.pn.com/pub/bb/wvfs/wvfs-2.2.14430954-alpha.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.pn.com/pub/bb/wvfs/wvfs-2.2.14430954-alpha.tar.gz</A>
  <A  HREF="http://www.objs.com/survey/OFSExt.htm">http://www.objs.com/survey/OFSExt.htm</A>

&gt;&gt; RCS, CVS, SCCS and company are version control systems.  They have nothing
&gt;&gt; to do with filesystems per se -- they operate at the file or directory
&gt;&gt; level.  I use RCS -- I haven't looked into CVS (tho I suppose I should).
&gt;&gt; Comparitively RCS is a superset of SCCS, and is quite simple.

&gt;CVS announces itself as a wrapper for RCS, as it goes from the docs I
&gt;managed to read so far, you can keep the repository as a single entity
&gt;instead of multiple RCS files.

See PRCS: <A  HREF="http://www.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/~jmacd/prcs.html">http://www.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/~jmacd/prcs.html</A>.  It doesn't do
distribution (yet), but has much other promise.

&gt;&gt; Note a versioning filesystem would essentially do RCS int he background
&gt;&gt; without your ever having to touch it.  cf ClearCase.

&gt;By the way, what does 'cf' stand for?

cf, from the latin 'confer', or compare.
