CVS For Modem Users?

Posted by Cliff on from the batch-cvs? dept.

David Symonds asks: "CVS is great if you can commit after each significant change; however, if you have limited access (e.g. a dialup connection), this tends to make things sloppy. Are there any "CVS proxies" that can cache CVS commits locally, then send them on to the CVS server when you next connect to the Net?"

    What would that do for you? When you commit you are putting the code in a repository for others to use, and at the same time merging changes other people made. With a proxy like you described you wouldn't be doing either of those things.

    It seems to me that it's more a matter of how you use CVS. Why not just commit all changes when you are connected, instead of trying to put together another application to do it for you?

    a queued version of CVS:

    Instead of "cvs commit" you use "cvsq commit". Later, when you are online, you type "cvsq upload" to cause the queued commits to get pushed to the CVS server.
