[Anthill] Bug in PVCS or Anthill (with the version file)?

[Eric Minick]

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the detailed description. I can compare what we do in OS to 
what's done on the Pro side and see if it is just missing a checkin 
comment. Perhaps it used to be optional and is now required.

You can track the version number in a property, insead of a file if 
you'd like. You'd want to replace the UrbanCodeVersioningAdapter with 
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.ProjectPropertyFileVersionAdapter . In 
that case, your version number is just stored in the property files.

Thanks,

Eric
