As long as you made sure that the branches used were always separate on each site (or you only cloned specific branches and the HEAD on both sites was unique) it'd work well. This could be separate to CVS - it just needs a merge program that's aware of the RCS file format. Unfortunately I don't have the time to write it at the moment... Tony
