That reminds me. Is anybody using darcs or svk? Can anybody share
experiences on those vis-a-vis svn?
Vamsee.
I have used darcs. Quite good and very easy to setup and use. The approach
is different from svn, CVS etc and it is completely distributed. The way
that darcs handles patches is wonderful. However the problem is that darcs
is written in haskell and haskell compiler is also written in haskell :)
this sometimes complicates things when you don't have darcs binaries for
your platform and have to compile it from source.
The other problem with darcs is the fact there is very limited tool
support - Also, there are no gui tools that I am aware off.
