Hi, I was just wondering, are there any gotcha's that need to be taken into consideration when using a CVS server on a Win32 machine and mixed platform clients? We're *going* to move to CVS from VSS. We have been using VC++/VSS and will continue to use VC++, but we are also using Linux now and require accessing the code from both platforms. Now, the problems I see are: 1) CRLF/LF. Can VC++ handle LF (I tried, but it died on the DSP's) so I'm thinking that the code can be, but not the DSP's (possibly import those as binary??). It would be easier to have all source in one format - LF, so GCC doesn't die. 2) Filenames. If I import a file, say, "Monkey.cpp" if I then update on a file called "monkey.cpp" will they be considered different files or the same? So, essentially, is it better to run the server on a Linux box or Win32? Also, what *can* the loginfo be used for? I have been looking around and have seen that this is not supported in the NT version (so I read), but just before we commit ;-) to one platform over the other, can I have a few examples of what it is used for? Thanks, Luke. Edit my email address before replying.
