Hmm... just to make things clear, the "weird" thing was told TO me, not by me. It just happens that I think the person who said it was actually right on the issue (even if HE is the weird one IMHO). At least for CVS, it has been a major help in my experience to never register any autogenerated files on version control. Although I *do* keep history of all releases, so you could say I have some sort of version control of everything (including all autogenerated files) as far as released tarballs go. > I learned from that text how can autotools and CVS/svn combined. > Though I personally obey the rule ``no generated files in the RCS'', > I seriously considered the other alternatives because of that text. I will read it, I am curious about what it says that could have such a strong effect on you. Maybe it can change my mind about the issue (but I doubt it)... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
