I haven't tried Bitkeeper [0], but I do use another commercial source control system at work, Perforce. Perforce at about US$500/seat compares very poorly incomparison to Arch. Perforce does however play nicely with windows. Erik [0] Because I supplied two patches and a feature enhancement to GNU Arch I am not able to use Bitkeeper. The license for Bitkeeper disallows its use by anyone who has worked on a competing source control system. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Erik de Castro Lopo nospam@mega-nerd.com (Yes it's valid) +-----------------------------------------------------------+ " ... new TV ad for Microsoft's Internet Explorer e-mail program which uses the musical theme of the "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's Requiem. "Where do you want to go today?" is the cheery line on the screen, while the chorus sings "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis,". This translates to "The damned and accursed are convicted to the flames of hell."
