After trying git for a while, the CMake developers have decided that git is way too complicated, and allows too many edits to take place simultaneously. So, we have decided to use sccs instead. With sccs, only one developer at a time can change a file, this avoids conflicting edits to being made to the source tree, and should increase the stability of CMake. Since there are no network protocols supported by sccs, we will have to use a single SAMBA share to host the repository. Since we can not export this share outside Kitware, only developers located in the Clifton Park office of Kitware will be able to checkout a file for edit. If external developers need to change a file, they will have to email one of the CMake developers and ask them to check it out locally at Kitware. Once the CMake dev gets a lock on the file, we will email that version to the outside contributor. After changes are made, the file should be emailed back to Kitware, or sent on a 3.5 inch floppy disk to:

CMake SCCS revisions at Kitware
28 Corporate Drive
Clifton Park, NY 12065

The change will happen today and today only.
