RE: Another feature request (CVS integration) (Ribeiro, Glauber)

Hi,

     actually, although it would be nice merge different diagrams
that was not my point. I think that .dia would still be gziped and
handled as binary data by CVS. Concurrent accesses should be handled
by other means, e.g. locking the edited file. Even without the
ability to merge concurrent modifications, the ability have a history
of previous states is per-se very useful.

     I guess, some time in future, one would design a general tool for 
merging Dia diagrams. That tool would also be used to improve ntegration 
with CVS, by allowing you to select which shapes/objects you want to 
keep or delete. I think that XML based merging would be to much error 
prone. Anyway, this is a next step towards full integration, we would 
would start considering binary data.
