[GeneX-dev] Why CVS is so good ...

[<ja...@op...>]

I created a separate installation branch a week ago to Change Genex.pm
over to the namespace that I registered with the Comprehensive Perl
Archive Network (CPAN). I had been using just Genex::* as a toplevel
namespace, but that made little sense as a global module, so I
registered it as Bio::Genex::*

It took me a few days to get that branch working completely, and then
I let it hang to work on other pieces. 

It just took me a little over 5 minutes to merge in namespace changes
into around 300 files from the branch into the main trunk. Most of
those 5 minutes was spent typing ChangeLog entries before I ran the
merge ...

No conflicts, totally automatic. 

I love CVS,
jas.
