- I'm trying to use RCS or CVS to keep track of changes made to 386bsd.
- My problem is the amount of diskspace wasted. Using NSE under SunOS I
- don't have the same problem. All source files of a project are under
- NSE control but are mapped into a work area using the translucent
- file system. This gives read access to all files associated with that
- particular project so that you can do a make or browse through files.
- Once you check out a file a writeable copy is created in your work
- environment. This means that only during the time a file is checked
- out you require additional diskspace. Once you checked a changed file
- back in it becomes read only (mapped via the translucent file system),
- the space for the copy is freed but you still can do a make on it or
- browse through it without having to check the file out.
-
- The question is - can I achieve the same thing with RCS or CVS.
- Otherwise is there a public domain version of the TFS ?
