subverting subversion
Mick found a posting by Tom Lord, the author of arch, on some of the difficulties with subversion.
I looked at arch when it first came out because it was a pile of shell scripts, which put me off because I also use Windows, and I was biased towards subversion. But as the years go by, I can't help wondering why it is taking so long. It seems like the svn team is taking as long as the bitkeeper team took, but for something much less ambitious than bitkeeper -- no flames.
Surprisingly enough, the best version control system that I've used is IBM's CMVC, because it can manage changesets (althought it doesn't call them that), and it can tie them into a configuration management layer. I'd like to try aegis and a C or Python version of arch.

arch is actually written in C now.
Tom Lord converted it over the last six months and has renamed the binary to "tla" and called it a 1.0 version.
Based on my browsing of the mailing archives I'm very comfortable migrating to arch.

Indeed, I've worked extensively with CMVC (years ago for C on AIX dvp) and it's still my favourite.
- Very good integration between source control and change/defect management
- Highly configurable
- Simple to use
Is it still in use?
Is it used outside of IBM?
Why isn't this promoted as a real product?
I'm using CVS now, which is fine, mainly because it comes for free and is nicely integrated in eclipse...
Cheers
