Arthur,

I haven't moved to CVSNT yet. 

A month ago I moved to CVS 1.12 without checking into compatibility. I had
to move back to 1.11. Lesson learned - look into everything.

I think I've checked to make sure all clients work with CVSNT.

Now I want to know what I'll have to do if something I haven't thought of
doesn't work with it. i.e.: Will I have to restore from backup and check in
changed files again?

Shawn

Shawn,

Moving back may or may not work depending on what has been done.

What sort of problems are some users experiencing?  It'll probably be
easier to rectify that than change again.  Also CVSNT is completely
backward compatible with CVS 1.11 so I've never heard of someone needing
to "move back".

Finally CM in a commercial environment probably should not be "developer
opinion driven".  CM has an overhead /cost to it that should be offset
to a business benefit (eg: audit req.).  Therefore moving back to CVS
may also remove the business benefit (eg: audit) so you'll be left with
the overhead but no benefit.

Regards,


Arthur

Moving to CVSNT works. What about moving back?

Example: I move to CVSNT. It works great for some users but not for
others. Now I need to move back to CVS. Will CVS have any trouble with
files committed to CVSNT?

Thanks,
Shawn
