Re: CVS and Delphi

[Rachman Chavik]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by linking your components with source code.
However, I may provide some ideas on managing Delphi files with CVS.

I think there are three types of files in a Delphi project:
1. Pascal Code (*.pas)
2. Form Definitions (*.dfm)
3. Data Modules (also *.dfm)

All *.pas files are text, and thus easily submitted into CVS.  For *.DFM 
files,
I ask my developers to set them as text DFM, and simply check them in
in CVS.

However, I don't have many branches at the moment.  And so far, we have not
had the need to merge between branches.  When merging is required, it will be a
good practice to pay extra attention in *.DFM files.

Hope this helps.

If anyone else have a better tips, please jump in.
