What I would like to do is create a seperate shared library that CVS client applications (like WinCVS, TortoiseCVS, and the command-line CVS client) can all use. The benefit is that applications written in other languages (e.g. Java, C++, and scripting languages) would be easier to integrate with the client. Also, there would be no need for CVS client applications to communicate between themselves and cvs.exe with (sometimes ugly) IPC mechanisms. That would entail removing all the exit() calls so that the library would not kill the application using the library. Instead, the code would have to propagate errors back to the calling code through another mechanism as the Windows API does. This would also entail seperating the front-end of the client code from the back-end. This eperation would also be a good opportunity to support internationalizing the client. > teach cvs what a directory is (medium) > mergepoint tracking (medium) Could you explain these two? I would add repository integrity checking and atomic commits. I have an idea for how to implement atomic commits that might not be that hard. > Binary diff (no freely available algorythms to do this AFAIK). I would really like this as well. There are papers describing some binary diff algorithms, in particular XDelta. His master thesis and a GPL'ed implementation is at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6966.
