Hi,
I would like to do some changes to osCommerce and I also will try to build a new contribution for the project. I have a fair knowledge on CVS (I can use WinCVS to manage my own projects or to checkout the osCommerce repository).

Now I wonder what will be the best method to get started with the latest CVS version and developing add-ons. I can checkout the current version and do my changes here. So I will be able to check my changes to the latest updated version and will also see any conflicts.

The other method I could use: I could import a snapshot into my own cvsroot and do my own version on a separate branch. But with this version I'm afraid it will be too much pain to update it to another dayly snapshot?

What would you advise that I should do?

Marian
