  • This is one of the things I really like about the current crop of DVCS. You can create your own repo so easily, and so quietly, that it turns into a "do it and move along" operation. Running a local Subverion repo is close, but not quite as good (especially since setting up a local DVCS is not as permanent a decision).

    I recently did this for our big product at work. The official system is Source Safe, which is hard for me to like very much. I checked all the code into a private Mercurial repo, which I use f

    • People still use Source Safe? Even Microsoft doesn't use it and they developed it. I've used Source Safe in the past and all I can say is "never again".

      I'm due for a consult and a scan next month.
      On the plus side, I plan on getting some nice work done once I can stand/sit again after physical therapy...before I have to go back to work....assuming I have to have surgery.

      Then again, EVE Online could steal my soul.
