A pleasure, as always. Been using it since before it even was Perforce -- about (can it really be?) 10 years now (where does the time go?). I use the freebie on my home machine for my own source (takes about 2 minutes to pick up and set up). I think they also may have some policy set up for open source projects (not sure, though, or about the details).
Yep - perforce rocks and you can use it for free if your are opensource and dont mind hosting the repo with them.
The new Subversion stuff is supposed to have atomic changes, and a similar approach to branching as Perforce does -- but it's pretty hard to see any long-established project switching to another tool (even an open source one), since it'd have a pretty significant impact. (Sure wouldn't mind seeing it happen, though -- CVS is just so clunky.)
CVS sucks. One of the good things about subversion is that there is almost a 1-to-1 mapping with CVS interface/functionality. So hopefully it is simple to migrate between tools with little trouble. I can't wait till apache starts hosting subversion repos!
Cheers,
Peter Donald
