Well, I'm using the CVS version (updated yesterday evening) from the
"Development" link on the home page:

"cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous anoncvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome update
anjuta"

This is using 1.0.1 from www.anjuta.org (this is what I'm using at work
currently, as soon as I've got a newer gnome, I'll moved to the next
version).

If I want to get the history of a file, the CVS output will be put into
a listbox from which you can diff against particular versions or compare
two different versions.

CVS configuration should be set into the project file - i.e. you may
have different repositories.

One thing I've found useful is from Tortoise is when a commit fails
because the code is out of date, it keeps the log message so you don't
have to type it in again when you have done this and come to re-commit
it later.

Ok.

The build stops, the LED keeps flashing and the menu's don't update to
reflect the change in state, basically it still thinks it's building.

Oh, ok.

I did do a couple there ;-P

Ah, just thought of another. Open a file, copy some text, close it and
then try to paste it into another window. It doesn't work; it only works
if you keep the original window open. Very annoying.

Just one more question, how many people are working on Anjuta?

Thanks,
Luke.
