We'd still be trying to shoehorn CVS into doing what we want. Personally I think it's extremely gratifying to help make the future happen. > Second, what you're describing sounds to me exactly like submodules What? Not at all.

Take five minutes and watch the video I linked to. An oversignt on my part. I didn't even see the video link the first time around, but when I saw it in another HN post, I added the following to my post >> Edit: I take back all I said about your idea being unconditionally too complicated. It seems like it's already being done by the darcs/camp projects. I'll have to check those out eventually. So, it still seems like it's more complicated than git for the average case (everyone syncing to a common state), but it's obviously not too much information for any one person to keep track of in all cases, since these projects exist.
