Will CVS stumble over files with resource forks and other HFS file attributes. It seems likely as most unix tools will. I realize that it is only a problem with apps, but as a developer, I have apps and resource files that I use as documents.

  So, how CAN I put a library of Applscripts under CVS control? Is there any way to do it?

  CVS doesn't deal at all with resource forks.

  CVS doesn't, but Subversion seems to.

  Yeah, I found that out the hard way today when I tried to access an AppleScript from my CVS repository. It had been saved as a compiled text and came up blank when checked out of CVS. Argh! We can always hope CVS will be improved to handle these elements too, especially now that I hear that Linux is playing with adding an meta-file implementation using resource forks. While the Mac takes a step backwards, maybe these guys will go forward.
