Antw: Re: [Bf-committers] Subversion <-> CVS

[car]

Is it powerful ? Does it do something faster ? And just typing simple 
commands, will it get the job done ? Or will it take a whole new 
language ? If it is simple and quick, then I say go for it, other wise 
if it is pokey and junk then stay away.
It it stream lines to work flow like CSS is to HTML then sure I support 
it.
