+1 from me.
We are developing mainly in LabVIEW and that stores files binary. You
can do a compare using LabVIEW (metadiff+lvdiff) but you can't do a
merge, though. It would be nice to let the other developers know that
one's working on a specific file (tree). (But as we're just three people
it's not such a big problem yet.)
But nevertheless SVN is far more sophisitcated than the integrated
source code control system of National Instruments wich does locking
(and forgets sometimes to unlock properly).
Keep up the good work,
Carsten
