Each of the semi-dry CVS chapters is followed up by a fun anecdotal chapter about open source development processes and how and why they work (esp focusing if possible on how CVS helps that process). I've also found it to be a better "advanced" reference than any of the CVS documentation I have. Somehow it just "feels" indexed better. I own no stock in Coriolis Books by the way. :) === Subject: Re: Feature sets [was Re: Templating System] From: Matt Sergeant <matt@sergeant.org> Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2000 08:03:04 +0100 (BST) On Thu, 3 Aug 2000, Gunther Birznieks wrote: > At 05:10 PM 8/3/00 -0700, Perrin Harkins wrote: > >On Thu, 3 Aug 2000, Drew Taylor wrote: > > > Having recently discovered the joy of CVS, I look forward to it.
