Subversion: The new-generation CVS (DevChannel)Subversion: The new-generation CVS (DevChannel)Posted May 31, 2004 6:14 UTC (Mon) by piman (subscriber, #8957)In reply to: Subversion: The new-generation CVS (DevChannel) by riel Parent article: Subversion: The new-generation CVS (DevChannel) Though open source development involves many contributors, it is rarely done distributedly. Almost always there is an official tree, and no others. In rare cases with lots of features in testing, which might conflict with each other, development has actually been done in a distributed manner; this is how the kernel works. But this behavior is rare. Now, you might say that this is because CVS is so prevalent, and you might be right. But projects were managed like this before CVS, too, and projects that don't use CVS (there still are some!) also usually work this way. You might also say that although most projects don't use this model, they should. You might be right there, too; but only time will tell on that count. I personally don't think it will have many advantages for most projects.
