Source Control Recommendation
-
this has been asked so many times... - Visual Source Safe (not free) - TortoiseCVS (free) - TortoiseSVN (free - seems to be the better for many people) ...

[toxcct][VisualCalc 2.20][VCalc 3.0 soon...]I'll give TortoiseSVN a shot. Thanks, Aaron

Hi All, I am wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a good source control system? Maybe something open source? Thanks, Aaron
Also check out SourceGear Vault. It's a replacement for SourceSafe, and, IIRC, it's free for one user. Jon Sagara Look at him. He runs like a Welshman. Doesn't he run like a Welshman? Doesn't he? I think he runs like a Welshman. Sagara.org | Blog | My Articles

Yes, do it. A few weeks ago I asked on SourceGear Vault (which is also good but not free) vs. SourceSafe. And after giving TortoiseSVN a try, I haven't looked back! :cool: -- LuisR

No. TortoiseSVN is just a Subversion (the real thing) client that integrates into the shell (Windows Explorer). All commands (Commit, Checkout and so on) are in the popup menu for the files/folders. Really, it's cool!

No by itself, but you set an Apache server and use it as your Subversion server. The thread linked to by code-frog's comment below contains a lot of info on it. However, I must admit that I couldn't get it to work, and I settled for it's built in server. -- LuisR

I've used it and it's nice, but now I like TortoiseSVN better. And that without considering that it's free :) -- LuisR

Might be overkill, but Perforce is free with a 2-user license.

FWIW I've switched to Visual SourceSafe 2005 and I don't hate it. cheers, Chris Maunder

True. However, as I told Albert, you can also use AnkhSVN[^], which is a plugin for VS.NET. :)

Just don't put your Sourcesafe area on a networked drive - I've done it twice, only to be hit by massive corruption...of course, it could just be our file servers - given our IT providers track record, that's more likely :-)

CVS is fine for single users or small teams. The tigress is here :-D

What's the alternative? Local drive or remote machine accessing the database via HTTP? cheers, Chris Maunder

I always use local drive - fortunately I'm in a position where I don't need to share access to VSS. I've not tried the HTTP access thingie, but I suspect that if you hold the VSS store on a local drive & use HTTP access, the HTTP bit of VSS should be able to serialize store access, hopefully keeping it intact. Oh - regular backups as well, goes without saying, really. Apart from that, I do like VSS 2005 - although this bug[^] had me confused for a while when I first used it on my PC at work...
