- Codeville - a distributed version
control system.
- Codeville is a distributed version control system. It began with
a novel idea for a merge algorithm and has grown from there. It is
designed to be easy to use and scale from small personal projects to
very large distributed ones. If you'd like to know why there is a
need for new merge algorithms, consider what the lead
monotone developer
has
to say.
Key features
-
- Simple and robust merge algorithm with proven
effectiveness.
- Well stressed branching and merging with no
restrictions.
- Simple user interface
- Almost trivial to use for personal projects without
running a server.
- Keeps client/server model for those familiar with
non-distributed systems.
- Transparently extends the client/server model to the
distributed case, repositories are all referred to by
URL.
- Simpler branching and merging than
CVS,
it
just works
- Basic set of commands with rich functionality.
- File name wildcard '…' can be used
instead of futzing with the UNIX 'find'
command
- Good performance, even on very large projects.
- Strong authentication
- SRP authentication means you will not expose your
password to remote servers by accident.
- HMAC codes to protect against connection hijacking.
- agent so you don't have to type your password all the
time.
- Disconnected operation
- History browsing and diffing.
- Changeset creation for later commit.
- Powerful diffing and history browsing commands.
- Immutable and verifiable history
- Extensive use of hashes including all of the
following:
- Internal identifiers for files and directories
- File deltas
- Change numbers
- File and directory renaming which correctly handles all (and
there are plenty) corner cases and conflicts.
- Cross platform, runs on all major platforms.
- Released as open source.
-
That being said, there are still a few things missing. See the
todo list for things which are missing and ways
you can contribute.

performing a make, and install.

Version 0.1.18 released!:
New in this release:
-
(Finally) adds Python 3 support. Yep, it finally works with Current supported
version of Python (tested/built on 3.7.9). While it still maintains support
for Python 2. There are no plans to continue support for Python 2, and it's
support will likely be removed in the next version.
-
Version 0.1.17 released!:
New in this release:
-
Changes in this release are largely preliminary changes required to make
version 0.1.18 possible. Meaning; they just make my job easier.
You, as the user, will notice very few of these changes in 0.1.17.
:-)

Version 0.8.0 is out!:
New in this release:
- Remember commit message and autofill it on next attempt if
commit fails
- fixed: catch requests for non-existent diffs
- fixed: error handling cleanup in networking code
- fixed: Windows-specific networking fixes
- fixed: binary file corruption on Windows with
'construct'
- fixed: glob expansion with 'describe -d'
- fixed: renaming corner case involving directories, renaming
and deleting
- fixed: files renamed out of a deleted directory on another
branch were marked as a name conflict
- fixed: use case-insensitive regexps for post-commit hooks
because the config parser lowercases everything
- fixed: filesystem timestamp precision problems
- fixed: Python 2.5 fixes
These fixes have been collecting for a while. Now you all get to
enjoy them too.
-
The version number has been changed to reflect that the currect code
is stable, yet is still missing some features which would be
necessary for a 1.0 release
-
Version 0.1.16 is out!:
New in this release:
- Allow 'edit' to take --id
- fixed: worked around slightly malformed history with respect
to edits and deletes
- fixed: merges of edits and deletes should be explicit in
changesets
Just a few cleanups, nothing too major.
