"This is a story about control" (CVS)
Friday, December 28, 2001 @ 00.04 CST

For quite a while now, I've been wanting to have revision control for this site using CVS, and tonight, I finally sat down and got it working.

Because my web hosting provider supports SSH, I can keep the repository on my account there and check it out on my local computer if I like. I don't have to bother with pserver at all. Since my active site directory tree is a checked out copy of the site module, making changes is no different than it used to be, other than committing every so often. Backing out of changes is really different, as in "possible." CVS is cool like that.

I am a big fan of CVS, and now I practice what I preach.
