Source code control recommendations
-
Hello all, Im reviewing the companies source code control strategy. We are currently using sourcesafe :doh: so im keen to move away. from what i can see, version 2005 just looks like a bugfix and tidy up of previous versions and any new work (such as branching etc) has gone into the team system product. we are only a small team (6 devs and 2 project managers) so im assuming team system foundation (the one with version control) is too big for our needs???? Current favourite contender is Sourcegear Vault, for its low price, stability, good reviews and remote access feature. anyone got any other recommendations? comments on team system? or warnings about sourcegear vault? Thanks in advance for any help. ;P Regards, Guy

Subversion (server) / Tortoise SVN (explorer client) / AnkhSVN (Visual Studio Plugin) is a very good free and open source mix...

Thanks very much for the info. Ive been looking into this and functionally it seems more equipped than vault (which you have to pay for!). My concerns with open source are naturally security - especially when its for the banking of our source code. Anyone have any stories on this they would like to share?

I've been using subversion and Tortoise SVN for a couple of months now and would recommend it. Its very easy to use and does everything I need. I use subversion at home and perforce at work, but still prefer subversion once you get your head around the fact that with sourcesafe you have a 'checkout - edit - checkin' paradigm and with subversion an 'edit - checkin' one which I prefer.

We've been using Team Foundation Server. Despite a few quirks I personally find it very intuitive since it integrates well with Visual Studio.

this was my first idea but 'fell down the list' due to... 1. non integration with interdev or vs.net 2003 2. cost of new server AND new sql server licence AND cals for TS 3. we are a small company and it seems a bit too much to manage im still leaning towards sourcegear vault because... 1. good customer support (from what i hear) 2. integrates well with visual studio 3. uses sql server storage (reliable) 4. uses web services for all operations - hence its extendable by us if necessary! 5. low cost its only benefit over Subversion (which is free) is that it will be easier to manage due to it being an off the shelf product and it seems like the safer option.
