[TxMt] How Long Must We Wait for CVS Support?

[Court K.]

Yes, thanks this still doesn't solve any problems. Rather than  
spending an hour posting on a blog about how you hate feature  
requests, why not just implement the really good ones?. Especially  
Really Good CVS, Subversion, SFTP, Editing over the networking stuff.  
There is not one single good CVS client for mac, eclipse, zend  
studio, all of them suck, yet textmate "is the missing editor for the  
21st century", Well in the 21st century almost every file is edited  
online and checked into a versioning system. And of course since the  
author wouldn't want to put it to a vote, (even though every single  
person using TextMate) would want CVS support built in... I guess  
we're just out of luck.

I'm irritated that the only comments have been, about the actual  
comment an not the feature I'm requesting, or others have requested.  
If textmate really isn't interested in becoming the missing editor  
for the 21st century, then I'm going to post, a $20,000 bounty for  
several x-code developers to make me a near duplicate of textmate  
with full cvs browser, subversion, browser, sftp, and network  
connectivity and give it for free.

You just can't build an editor these days, let alone one that's "for  
the 21st century" and not have support for networks.
