svn or cvs??
-
I was wondering which is a better version control system either cvs or svn. But the comparsion is too old. I have used svn for a while but not aware of cvs. What do you say?

Subversion was created to fix a lot of perceived problems with CVS, so if you're already using SVN, I'd stick with it.

CVS is a nightmare, I despise it. I've heard SVN is pretty good.

Hmm, never had a single problem with cvs. We have been using cvs for 8+ years and last week I spent a few days trying to migrate our 1 to 2GB of code to svn and after a few days playing with svn I went back. The main reason is that the client (rapidsvn) was no where as advanced as wincvs. It did not have the query update function (to tell me every file that has changed on both sides) or any of the scripting that helps me to quickly exclude and import only parts... So I went back even though I liked svn better on the server side.

I have all sorts of issues with how the merging works, with it refusing to check stuff in, you name it. I suspect if I had time to work out the vagaries of how it works ( not intuitive and not well documented ) that it probably works fine for people who get how to use it best.

I hate both, but if I were forced to choose, I'd pick svn.

I suppose it might depend what you want them for. I will say that for small projects, TortoiseSVN is not just good, it is a life-saver. It doesn't mean SVN is not appropriate for large projects but I can only vouch for small ones.
