Another thing I'd really like to see is a move to GNU arch version control
What do people think?
I'm using it at my new job and it's pretty dope imho. There are a few downsides, some already have been mentioned (those--horrible--names, for example). Others I have noticed:
o Too many VC files & VC Files mixed in too liberally with your real source ("inventory" helps ameliorate this, but still...)
o Not the best win32 support AFAIK
o working in /x/y/z amazingly requires write permission at /x/y! stupid.
o horrible, confusing error messages
o no fancy integration with your favorite GUI yet
Despite the above and a few other nits, I really like it. Even those--damn--names start to get comfortable once your ring finger builds up the requisite strength & dexterity :)
