Mini Poll: What about Version Control?
-
Some while ago I suggested Chris the poll about the version control software. It didn't make it, but I kinda can't let the thing go away :) I must be biased, but hey, who isn't? :) Anyway, what are you guys using for version control? SourceSafe? CVS? ClearCase? RCS? Other? Do you think it's useful or just a pain in the neck?

I don't know how useful version control would be for this site, I think it would be too complicated. BTW, we use PVCS Version Manager at the offic

Hey George, I was actually just going through my list of poll suggestions trying to work out which one to put up this week. You _did_ ask me a while ago - so I'll put this one up all official-like so we can have a proper look at this issue. ----------------------- Chris Maunder - Site Admi

PVCS? My condolences

At Symantec in Santa Monica, we used the DOS PVCS (you read that right) up until about mid-1998. It had been in use for longer than I'd worked there, so I guess no one wanted to change. And yes, it was a PITA to work with. We finally got switched over to Perforce, and it made everything run so much more smoothly. Perforce was originally a *nix program, and I don't think they spent much time designing their Win32 client's UI, but once you stopped swearing at the UI and figured out how to do stuff, it was pretty good

I use CVS and it's saved my butt more than a few times. I use SourceSafe when developing in Visual Basic because it integrates more easily with VB and DevStudio but for C/C++ I use CVS and it's great. If you don't use version control then someday you'll wish you had.

Clearcase was good, for large projects but its servers use a case sensitive filing system. This is a problem in VB/VC where the IDE tends to change the case of the files based on the entry in the project file. SourceSafe is nice and simple, but not so good for branching and large teams. One thing that I noticed about .NET... what's happening to Source Safe. At one stage there was a lot of talk about building version management into the Filing system??

Hi, we use the QVCS version control software for a small team of 6 developers. After not using anything for years, this software has 'saved the day' on several occasions, and we wouldn't now be without it. As a project manager it's very usefull to be able to see who changed what, where, and when in the source files.

We used StarTeam (by Starbase) at my last job.It not only does version control, but it has a bug tracking system and a message base built into the program. It's also web-enabled. We're using sourcesafe here and it's quite possibly the worst version control package I've ever seen.
