Best sourcecode database
-
What is the best source code database out there in your opinion? I need something that runs off of a W2K server, and possible provides secure internet access. We use MS SourceSafe now, is it just me or does this product seem like it hasnt been updated in years? There must be something better. Cleve Littlefield Senior Developer Visual Office

Perforce. It kicks the crap out of everything else I have used including the feeble SourceSafe. I has many rich features like jobs, branch specs, and labels. But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams. - Yeats

Yep. I've just started using Perforce at home (free for <= 2 users) and it is GREAT! Takes a while to get your head around after years of using (and abusing) SourceSafe but it works the way a source control system should. [edit] IIRC, this is what MS use as well (heavily modified). [/edit]

Microsoft doesn't use Perforce. Microsoft uses its own internal command-line source control system called SourceDepot, that is absolutely phenomenal and probably beats anything commercially available. Wes

I had heard that SourceDepot was a modified version of Perfoce's command-line. The P4 ui is just window dressing for the command-line. [edit] Also, I though that MS was pretty good about having the developers actualy use their comerical products. Is there a reason (besidees the obvious) why they they moved away from VSS?

Is there a reason (besidees the obvious) why they they moved away from VSS? VSS is fine for small projects, and is used extensively at MS. But SD is used for the larger projects, such as .NET, where they need an "industrial strength" source management system to handle the enormous volume of data, and volume of checkin/checkouts.
