Anyone using Inkscape with CVS or any other version control or document (CVS/Subversion) management system (WebDAV) on a regular basis?
To rephrase I am wondering if anyone is checking their SVG documents into a version control system (VCS) of some kind?
The reason I ask is I have noticed a trend of requests asking for various advanced Save and Undo features. The task seems like it would be better served by using a document manage system of some kind, and I suspect it may there may be users doing something similar already.
I know Adobe includes WebDAV support to provide some basic document management. I also vaguely recall Gnome VFS can be built to include support for various file systems including ones like WebDAV but I do not know if anyone is secrectly using Inkscape with Gnome VFS and WebDAV enabled.
I am hoping that if people are already using document management systems or more complicated options such as checking all their files into CVS then we might be able to discuss it here. Afterwards summarising it in the Wiki might help users make the most of the features Inkscape already has rather than attempting more awkward approaches involving undo histories or autosave features.
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
