Re: Change Sets, like found in Eclipse?

Wow, nothing like a mean-spirited, pompous reply from an obviously 
self-important know-nothing to keep group traffic low.  

This was a specific WinCVS question, the fact that CVSNT is part of 
the answer doesn't change this groups' relevance to the posting.  Of 
course, I assume that you only stopped autofellating yourself long 
enough to pull up your very low self-esteem by writing an acidic 
response, and didn't actually read or try to understand the original 
posting..  

You seem to be quite knowledgable about CVSNT, so I am happy with 
part of your response.  However, because my question was specific to 
WinCVS, and this group is dedicated to WinCVS, I wonder why you even 
bothered to muddy the issue by bringing up CVSNT?

Again, the answer, quite obviously is your low self-esteem.  Once you 
come out of the closet, I'm sure your esteem will grow, and you will 
no longer need to focus your socially-retarded responses to a group 
such as this.

Have a great day.

Xeno...
