Upgrading to Perforce
-
The office I work in is upgrading to Perforce! Woohoo, no more SourceSafe headaches! :-D Perforce also organizes things a bit better, e.g. multiple checkouts can be tagged to one changelist, and the description is on the changelist - so in the course of fixing bug A, if you change 4 files, they'll all be grouped together in the history. We've also integrated with our bug reporting/... system, so you can assign a 'job' to a changelist, where the job is a bug report. Where's the little dancing guy smiley when you need him? ;)

some people find perforce to be extremely over reaching and hard to deal with. I prefer cvs myself. Which is suprising to me because I didn't think I would like the always checked out / merge model of cvs. But after using it for a bit I find I can't stand anything else anymore.

Really... We moved the other way... Perforce was a pain in the ass for some of the basic things, apparently... the change was made before I started... sourcesafe is going soon too... probably in favour of SubVersion or Team System if it's out in time. Regards, Brian Dela :-) Now Bloging![^]
