    One requirement for me to open ended support for files other than line
    based text files. It should support merging of xml files, for instance,
    via a plug-in interface using a database similar to mailcap.

    Another feature that I want to see implemented as an external policy is
    keyword expansion.

    And I would like the option to run both with and without a server
    (workstation vs. service view); toying with idea of having a daemon that
    shuts down after a configurable timeout.

    Not sure about that, actually, but integration with my favorite editor
    (vim) would be nice.

    cvs forces a vendor branch on you and you cannot use tags which match
    upstream versions (x.y.z is x-y-z or x_y_z).

    Is "yet another software configuration managent tool (yascmt)" taken? :-)
