I have used ZCVSFolder in the past, but I found that it didn't fit into our revision control 
model very well. We'd have to remember to go to the ZMI to check stuff in.

This week I moved to APE, so that all (and I mean ALL) Zope objects are stored in the 
local file system. I then check these items into Subversion.

So far it's working well, except that I cannot put an LDAPUserFolder into APE, it causes 
Zope to enter a recursive loop somewhere and run out of memory.

Another advantage to APE, I can edit objects using external editors quite easily, without 
using netdrive.

(My Zope server is on Linux, but I use Win2k as my desktop connecting via Samba to 
Linux)
