There are comparable tools for Subversion, though the full-blown UI tools are a bit lacking, so I use TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/). >What is everyone using and how good is it??? > > I used CVS and CVSNT for ages but didn't like the lack of some features. Then I tried Perforce and while it is amazingly powerful it was a bit too expensive for me (I'm attempting to get co-workers to use versioning for their work and have three of 'em and its $750 per seat). >Functionality I prefer: >-Ability to check-in / out files >-History of changes >-Integration w/ Homesite is a plus but not required. > > There is an SCC addon for SVN called SVNProxy available for $20. Personally I prefer to do that outside of the development tool and tie it to my file manager, thus my use of TortoiseSVN. >The first time I tried MS Visual SS it was very easy to integrate with. > > SourceSafe is one of the worst available, little better than RCS.

Subversion is a little tricky but the documentation for TortoiseSVN explains how to set it _all_ up nicely - worth reading. One thing to consider about SVN is that it is starting to take over from CVS for many open-source projects, which drives its development and that of add-ons. Due to this it is gaining a huge amount of support from 3rd parties. -- *Damien McKenna* - Web Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Limu Company - http://www.thelimucompany.com/ - 407-804-1014 "Nothing endures but change." - Heraclitus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=38 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:181917 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
