    I'm pretty sure Subversion used to be SourceSafe, which used to be a sucky product...but Subversion was far improved but i could be wrong Roswell

    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'm currently looking into incorporating a source control tool for the development team I work with, and Subversion came to me from a collegue and I'm looking for any experiences or recommendations. From what little I've gleaned so far it seems like a powerful open source add-in. What'd you think?

                          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! :)

                                  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

                                          I have been using Subversion since v0.39 (or thereabouts) in a production environment, and can whole-heartedly recommend it. We have never lost any code or experienced major problems in all the years we have been using it. Note that any version control system introduces complexity, so there is a learning curve for both users and for administrators, but there is also a wealth of material available, start with svnbook.org. The TortoiseSVN manual is also good, and you will find good support on both svn and tsvn mailing lists, so long as you're polite and ask good questions. I'd recommend following the standard way of doing things, start simple, use svnserve over apache if you don't use apache already, and gradually introduce complexity (pre & post commit hooks, path based authorization, integration into build process, etc) as you and your team become more confident.
