I made it late to the meeting last night, mea culpa, and some one was talking about a module
that allows you to have some kind of version control. What was that module's name?
Thanks,
Nestor :-)

They were talking about
They were talking about "Features" module... not really a Version Control module, but the closest thing we have to Version Control for Views and CCK
SVN
I also mentioned that SVN(Subversion) is a good tool for version control of files. This hooks up well with Features since features makes files out of things that are typically stored in the database.
-A
Features & Patterns modules
The Features and the Patterns modules are both designed to move Drupal's configuration settings from the database (not good) into the codebase (good) so that version control software such as Bazaar or SVN can control changes to the site from multiple developers.

Bazaar
I'm interested in Bazaar, Have you used it? what do you think about it? What makes it cool?
-A
Bazaar is cooler than SVN
Bazaar is cooler than SVN because all the commands are pretty much the same so you don't need to re-learn anything, but if you have a branch with several commits to different areas by different devs, and they somewhat overlap, BZR will intelligently merge the changes while SVN will barf a 'conflicted file' message back at ya and sit there idly.

I use it for personal
I use it (bazaar) for personal projects and it is ridiculously easy to set up and use, so easy that its hard to justify not using it (unless you had another vcs going on).
I have never merged anything, so I cannot attest to any advanced functions of the like, but I can say its much more pleasant than CVS for basic stuff.
