yup. i rofl'd a bunch at that one. i mean, after all you can't use any
wizards on unix. which means that you write code, not macros :->.

it's similar to cvs indeed. with the difference that visual source
safe is known to corrupt the repository every now and then. i have
worked in a couple of scenarios with visual source safe and was always
surprised to find all the developers keeping their local copies backed
up several times. after a little while, it was obvious - every month
or so, visual source save four fsck up and the repository had to be
rebuilt... i have *never* had a problem with cvs!
