I’ve just found it cumbersome in terms of having to disable it, create a page or form, enable it again, and write out the files.
Cnk_versioning also creates pages, forms and styles; it imports anything and everything you change. You just need to save a file to the appropriate directory and it imports it to the DB. If you remove a file, it’s also removed from DB. Complete mirror.

Re: TextPattern or EE2 ( i want to quit WP)
Not to turn this into a cnk_versioning support thread but I’ve only found mirroring to work with Forms and not pages. Whenever I’ve created a page (in Coda for example) that page won’t appear/register in txp until I disable/enable the plugin. All I’m suggesting is that this could be a native option given how much more productive it makes working with txp – for me at least.

marty, sometimes I’ve also observed that cnk_versioning doesn’t immediately see the new page template, e.g. refreshing the section list doesn’t show you a new page template. Usually it is sufficient to click “view site”, then refresh the sections/pages/forms/css pane and the new item is there. That’s definitely easier than switching cnk_versioning on and off.
Tangentially related to that, I have on two other occasions found that my local forms were not being seen by textpattern. On closer investigation I found they were not making it to the server directory at all. In the end it turned out to be a permissions thing. Resetting the permissions (chown) via the hosting control panel resolved that.

From opening post on plugin thread:
Everytime a front-end page is viewed with production_status != ‘live’, the plugin loads all files to the database, which have a modification timestamp greater than the one stored in the database. Deleted files will also delete forms/pages/css from database. New files will create new pages/forms/css.
