Bill,

if one look at all the open source projects in the world and things like=20
sourceforge.net  then CVS also should be usable by large companies. Many=20
users from different time zones sharing and working on the same codebase=20
without any problem.  But its free of course and many big companies (and=20
also smaller companies) are afraid of that (can't understand why but I=20
have seen this many times).

There is plenty of tools around CVS that makes it user friendly if you=20
don't like the command line. WinCvs/CvsGui is one such tool=20
http://www.wincvs.org/=20

If you want a web interface there are plenty around. The one used at=20
sourceforge is one example. (=20
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/can/  is an example ).

But of course any reversion system is better then none. Possible this=20
may be true for all except sourcesafe which all understand who have done=20
a repair of its internal structure after a year or so....

/Regards
/Ake
