I will not manage to have development code access easier, as some do not
understand the difference between development code and released code
(yes, some do open bugs against development code, while some others
after using development code do report that dar is "A tool with lots of
options - some of them apparently untested. Leaner would be better",
even not telling what they have found "apparently untested")

... what to say about RCS (the ancestor of CVS), I was using before
publishing code on sourceforge in 2002! :-)

Anyway, that's not the top priority, because CVS is just fine for the 1
member team of dar development and maintenance. However one day git will
be used instead of CVS, mainly because sourceforge will no more provide
CVS feature in the future.
