[Lazarus] Development of other revision control

Well, at this point, I'm trying to get an idea of what has been done in
Lazarus. I wanted to answer the question of how to do revisioning on my
projects (one of which is in collaboration with another developer, my
son). Also, I wanted to find out who has done what and who is interested
in doing what.

Then, I had planned on looking at how other IDE integreated projects
such as Eclipse, Netbeans, QT, (maybe even Visual Studio Express on my
wife's windows machine), and stand-alone applications such as
TortoiseSVN, SmartSVN, and also some web-based repo access is done such
as in github, beanstalk (etc). Ok, let me be honest, I am not really
familiar with using revision control systems ... I have a couple of
projects on SourceForge which I use Git, and SVN on. But it hasn't
totally become part of my workflow yet, since it just is a pain right
now, and I wanted to make revision control less painful when developing
in Lazarus.

thanks for this ref. ... not quite what I was looking for, but it all
helps to put it in the learning bucket ...

Thanks for showing interest ... I guess I wasn't thinking of ports per
se, I was thinking more along the lines of a generic tool for handling
traffic and management of revision control systems.

Thanks again for your message,
