| Basic operations: checkin, checkout, undo chekout

| In Igloo, checkin operation for a non-modified file does not make the file 'read only'.

| Remove from source control
| 100%
| 50%
| In Igloo the file is deleted from its location. Deleting of a file is incorrect and very dangerous.

| In Igloo the partial content is sometimes extracted, and an external merge tool is needed, while PushOk contains integrated merge tool.

| Conflict resolving
| 100%
| 0%
| Sometimes conflicts occur during the concurrent access to the source. The Igloo tool does not handle conflicts at all, and you have to resolve conflicts in non-visual mode browsing the code for CVS conflict markers. It is not important for the source files, but the conflict in the project file can make your project inaccessible and prevent it from opening. PushOk handles these conflicts the same way as Source Safe does. It shows visual conflict editor before the IDE accesses the file and gives you a chance to resolve the conflict before the problem appears.

| History browsing
| 100%
| 5%
| PushOk can show history for both the file and the project. The history dialog allows to compare different versions, to view any version of the file, to annotate the file and to view log message. Iglo only launches CVS log in output window.

| Handle file types on addition
| 100%
| 0%
| Due to CVS features, it is very important to specify the file type (text, binary, Unicode) during file addition. The incorrectly added binary file (added as a text) becomes unusable. Igloo does not handle this problem, while PushOk suggests both the automatic type recognition strategy and handling of manually configured file type, based on the extension. In most cases the automatic type recognition works excellently.

| Get latest version
| 100%
| 50%
| The SCC interface provides means for handling new files that appear in repository, but are not currently known to IDE. I.e. some other developer adds new files to the project and updates the workspace file. But your IDE does not know about it, and will not get them from repository without any special support from SCC provider. Igloo does not handle this situation, while PushOk supplies IDE with information about new files, and you are enabled to get the latest versions easily.

| Add to source control
| 100%
| 50%
| Both tools can perform this operation quite successfully. But Igloo displays the connection dialog every time when a new folder is added to repository. PushOk implements special processing procedure to handle this situation internally and does not bother you with stupid questions.

| Progress and cancellation
| 100%
| 50%
| Both tools display progress dialog for CVS operations. But Igloo bothers you with this dialog every time you run a CVS operation, while PushOK makes this smarter. Firstly, PushOk progress dialog is smaller and more informative. It contains a copy of output window, since the output window in some IDE's cannot be displayed while CVS is working. Secondly, the progress dialog can be configured to be shown or not, and after which delay it should be displayed. The cancellation works instantly, while in Igloo it does not work at all.

| CVS support
| 100%
| 50%
| Igloo accesses CVS via old WinCVS dll, while PushOk can use any executable CVS you like. This makes the PushOk tool compatible with all CVS ports, even those that will be created in future.

| Configuration
| 70%
| 20%
| Igloo practically does not support configuration for the basic CVS options, while the PushOK configuration dialog contains many standard options to configure CVS protocol and appearance.

| The development of Igloo has been stopped more than a year ago. We plan to continue active development of PushOK, and we will answer (and currently answer) users' questions concerning working with CVS and IDE. Of course our tool may contain bugs, just as any other program, but we will fix them ASAP.
