Re: [chairs] Recommendations for Version Control System!

Hi Sanjay,

We haven't used a VCS on the EKMI TC, but will probably do
so when we get to the interoperability test-suite goal of
the TC.

I have personal experience with SCCS, CVS and SVN and
vote for SVN if one standard is to be chosen by OASIS.
