Riad: you're welcome. I agree that command-line or freeware tools are
rather unwelcome. I was hoping that someone else would continue to
build on what I've written :). In addition, true Cadence integration
requires a GDM license from Cadence. I knew my cor****ation wouldn't
pay for that; nor did I want to invest the time required to get that
going. Besides, I didn't think I could beat the VersIC solution, which
has Subversion integration solved rather well.
The reason VersIC is not listed at WikiPedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software) is probably because it
falls under the "Perforce" or "Subversion" categories. MethodIC's
didn't re-write a version control system from the ground up. I view
that as a major advantage: should you chose not to continue your
license at some point, your data is still completely available.
