How can you loose a day's work?

When you loose all you work because CVS plugin for eclipse deletes new files when updating form HEAD.

PS: the new file was a patch of work I had thus far.

Note to self: for real work use the command line...

Update: thankfully I could recreate my modified files from a local history Eclipse keeps, but the new ones were lost forever (and ever).

I'd really really suggest using SVN instead of CVS. Since I've actually used SVN I've never looked back. It's way way better than CVS.

The only problem is that the choice doesn't belong to me. SVN and Bazaar are my favorite VCSs.

Bazaar's only problem is its speed, but since in the last version they've attended it, it may be the best one around now.

CVS doesn't even keep a local version, so every time you try to check for a DIFF you're doing a connection to the server... *sigh*
