COllaborative DEvelopment SHell 0.8.0

COllaborative DEvelopment SHell is a project that provides an automatic persistent logbook for sessions of personal command line work by recording what and how is being done, for private use/reuse and for sharing selected parts with collaborators.
COllaborative DEvelopment SHell is an intelligent shell that automatically logs a users command line (shell) session: commands, scripts executed, output produced, changes to environment variables, alias creation, and other information needed to recreate the session later.
Sessions are uniquely tagged and stored in local or distributed backend repositories and can be extracted and reproduced at any time by the user who created the session or by collaborators located anywhere in the world.
Enhancements:
- This release introduces a new persistent backend for virtual sessions, based just on flat (mostly ASCII) files, and the corresponding new module codeshbascii.py.
- Now the user has a clear choice between a CVS backend, a flat file (ASCII) backend (thus avoiding the CVS dependency), or no backend at all.
- The protection of repository commands has been improved.
- Now they are executed only after a check that the repository specified by the user is alive and operational.
- The verification of user-supplied command line parameters has been improved.
