In the future I'd imagine quite a lot of convergence, since what people want of a version control system tends to be pretty similar. For example the next version of cvsnt will have a new SQL backend that'll automatically give it the directory stuff, rename/move tracking, binary deltas, plus advantages from using SQL, like transactions. On paper it'll also be considerably faster, but I haven't got far enough with the rewrite to prove that yet. Tony
