Todd,

The 'arch' software does sound intriguing.  However, I wonder if the arch 
folks are biased.  I noticed that under the 'easy development on branches', 
they list the following as the requirement for this feature:

"Does the revision control system make it easy for developers to work on 
branches, merging changes to the primary trunk in controlled ways? "

I disagree with their assertion that this is not 'easy' in CVS.  We have used 
CVS to work on no less than 5 concurrent branches to build features into code 
in true parallel development.  We have not had problems with CVS and branch 
development.

What do you think?
