Commercial Options (Score:3, Informative)

by Matts (1087)

We've been evaluating commercial options here for a short while. Our requirement for this is to work on both Unix and Windows, so all the open source options are out. Candidates have been Perforce, Bitkeeper, MKS, AccuRev, PVCS and probably others.

The most interesting looking tool appears to be AccuRev. It appears to be very simple to use, yet have a powerful branching model. I'll try and report more fully on it when we start doing a proper eval.

  Why not CVS itself? Obviously it runs on Unix, and I've found the CVSNT port (http://www.cvsnt.org) to be quite nice. Plus, there's a plethora of Windows-, Unix-, Java-, and web-based clients.

    Because unfortunately CVS is broken in many rather fundamental ways. Such as doing lots of branching/merging, lack of file metadata versioning, etc.
