Indeed, you were the trigger which caused me to finally
write it.  However, we get this question fairly often,
so I thought it was time to produce a canned answer.

Subject: RE: [vault-list] CruiseControl.NET integration?

Yea, I am withdrawing that recommendation.  It was based solely on my desire
to not burden Draco.NET with an API file.  It does all of it's current SCCS
support in a fairly lightweight manner.  I'm not particularly certain that
the official project will accept the addition of the API.  (Which is what
I've been shooting for; a version of integration built into Draco.NET and
not available separately.)

Instead I've got a custom command line client that does GET and HISTORY and
uses the API, it can be recompiled against new versions of Vault until the
official command line client can produce XML that won't cause Visual Studio
to choke up blood and allow for a date limited history command.  Yea, it's
extra baggage but it's extra baggage that will hopefully get thrown away in
the future and doesn't HAVE to be included with Draco.NET.

It's my opinion that if you want to tango with the web service you should
just hop out and write an entire SCCS product - that's where you're going.
I wouldn't want to tackle some of the issues involved if I was getting PAID
to do so, much less on my spare time. :)  As for sanity... Whoever said we
were sane to begin with?

To defend Jim's sanity I DID say that the web service was my ideal method of
working with Vault in terms of Draco.  I worked on it for two weeks and got
nowhere.  

And Eric, I felt that article was aimed squarely at me. ;p
