Peer-to-peer version control

Code Co-op is an interesting piece of software: peer-to-peer version-control. There is no central server, and everything can be done via e-mail.

Right now I need version control for a small group of independent Python developers - but don’t don’t want to be responsible for a server. Maybe Code Co-op can be a solution - the basic version control stuff is very straightforward. But right now I have two small but interesting problems:

1. Outlook Express screws up mail-integration with Eudora.
2. No automatic check-out of files inside PythonWin

Outlook Express… I don’t need it anyway. But MS doesn’t want anyone to uninstall it, so W2K doesn’t even show it in the Add/Remove programs Control Panel. A manual uninstall (as documented here) is possible but tedious and error prone. So I built a Python script to automate it.. I’ll upload it soon.

PythonWin has version-control integration - but it’s completely undocumented. This is the only description I know of. I hate the trial-and-error route, but what to do? Stay tuned…
