hi Tino,

very nice idea to keep the history for the future... Do you have run 
this "best practice" on a production system? Do I have to shut down my 
Zope, when I do a nightly "commit"? I don't know how CVS handles a 
Data.fs which is changed during the commit. I would guess that it should 
be no problem.

Your idea could solve a big problem for me... I'm going to give it a 
try. thank you,
