[Gllug] Fwd: [arch-users] arch1.0pre17 announcement

[Stig Brautaset]

There's been a new release of the arch revision control system,
hopefully this will be usefull to some of you. I've been using it a
while now -- it's great.

Here's an exercept from the tutorial:

	Why Use arch?

	arch has a number of advantages compared to competing systems.
	Among these are:

	Works on Whole Trees 

	arch keeps track of whole trees -- not just individual files.
	For example, if you change many files in a tree, arch can record
	all of those changes as a group rather than file-by-file; if you
	rename files or reorganize a tree, arch can record those tree
	arrangements along with your changes to file contents.

	Changeset Oriented 
	
	arch doesn't simply snapshot your project trees. Instead, arch
	associates each revision with a particular _changeset_: a
	description of exactly what has changed. arch provides changeset
	oriented commands to help you review changesets, merge trees by
	applying changesets, examine the history of a tree by asking
	what changesets have been applied to it, and so forth.

	Fully Distributed 
	
	arch doesn't rely on a central repository. For example, there
	is no need to give write access to a project's archive to all
	significant contributors, instead, each contributor can have
	their own archive for their work. arch seamlessly operates
	across archive boundaries.
