For what it's worth, I've found the tradeoff of CVS to work pretty well -
generally if I'm only reverting a single method, I'm reverting it to a
very recent version, and the image history will still have at least
everything since the last cvs update. If I'm going back further than
that, I usually want to revert the whole project, which CVS does much
better.
I also find the diff output from CVS to be useful for seeing related
changes all at once: it's very easy to tell what's going on in, for
example,
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/seaside/aubergines/seaside/Kernel.st.diff?r1=1.10&r2=1.11
The only way to do this with changesets is to start a new one for each set
of changes, which gets cumbersome to manage.
YMMV, of course.
Cheers,
Avi
