Subersion - Anyone know about or use this?

I'm pretty sure there's absolutely no connection between those two products - other than they are both source control systems.

I've only heard that Subversion is supposed to be an improvement on CVS, taking a step further and what not. SourceSafe is a Microsoft product that was replaced by, or upgraded to, Visual Studio Team System. -- modified at 19:45 Thursday 15th February, 2007

I've used it for the last couple of years at my current employer and we love it. Combined with Tortoise (whcih can be a tad buggy) its a great tool set

What server system do you have it incorporated with?

Thanks. If I may, what are y'all using Subersion for....application development, document sharing? Is it easy to use?

Yup. ;) The two are not related. SourceSafe is The Bane of My Existence, while Subversion is what i use on my own projects.

:love: Subversion. Won't use anything else.

We just migrated from Merant PVCS to Subversion in December. I also use the Tortoise client, but others are free to use the client of their choice. Some use Tortoise, some use the "real" command line client. We love it, and I can already say we will not be going back, since I am the lead developer and keeper of the source control server. :-D FWIW: We run it on Windows 2000 (2003 when the new server arrives) and Apache 2, with the Windows authentication module.

I am a big fan of Subversion also. I have been using it for more than a year, and it's great (with TortoiseSVN as a client). See the thread that code-frog's post points to so that you can see that I was like you a year ago! :)

Ok then...this was something i read at night catching up on some old threads, so the facts may have gotten mangled up as it sometimes happens :-O Roswell :)

We use it for source code only, its fairly easy to use but does have its little idiosyncracies you need to be aware of

I have used SourceSafe and CVS at previous companies and much prefer CVS over SourceSafe. Subversion is essentially the "next evolution" of CVS, but it does have it's own little quirks. The open source site Sourforge used to use CVS and then recently (in the last year I believe) migrated everything to Subversion. I have used it with one of the open source projects I'm working with and love it. It runs over a standard HTTP connection so it can get around issues of firewalls, etc. and is pretty smart and efficient on the amount of data it transfers back and forth. A drawback is that there is no integration with Visual Studio, but that may not matter to you.

Our team is moving to SVN in March assuming they decide not to go to Team Systems. I did quite a bit of research and we have been using it on a couple of small projects. The Visual Studio plugin's are workable and Tortoise makes it much easier to use. It will be hosted on Windows 2003 and we will be using it to hold source code primarly. The setup and usage is pretty straight forward and there are good resources on CP of course.

I did this myself not so long ago and have found it to be great. The only hurdle you might come across is the check in / check out model. Its a little different to what our team was used to (we used to use source jammer). SVN uses a non-locking model so it doesn't require you to lock the files while you're editing them. You can however set a flag to require a lock on the file. Greg
