Yes. Written by Geoff Canyon. I don't have a current url but I can send you
a copy off list if Geoff doesn't chime in ;-)

I haven't used CVS but it seems to be the industry standard. I was thinking
that creating a rev based front end for CVS would be ideal. I don't think
that a Rev system would handle multiple concurrent users very well (at least
not without a great deal of work). On the other hand modelling all rev
objects in a database could result in something unique: multi-user
concurrent programming. Like an internet whiteboard but with stacks ;-)
