I'm a Linux person and we use CVS, which is pretty simple and dependable. It doesn't care what it is archiving, but is not much cop with non-text files.
There is at least one windows front end for it (http://www.wincvs.org/) which I've never used myself but worth a look.

Doesn't Source Safe come with VS2005? It certainly integrates with it. It's a bit basic, OK for version control, but no good for tying together change requests & software changes etc.

If the last owner of the company hadn't bought PVCS for us, I'd probably be using CVS too.

Far from free but if you are using visual studio then Team Foundation Server with all the portal stuff works really well for source control, change control and documentation.
But... it aint free and you need quite a big SQL 2005 server at the back. Oh and it isnt very well documented (or tested)... lol |

is Team Foundation Server the same/part of Team System? We looked into getting a trial of it done here, but they judged it too expensive and limited because it can't be used on unix. it's the cost rather than the limitation that's the problem, but it does sound quite neat as an end-to-end tool from the limited stuff i've read about it.
what do you need to use an SCM for? do you need to tie it to anything else to track back to the issues & related info that brought about the change, or is this just for home use. from my experience it's quite difficult to seamlessly tie together disparate products - they can be connected, just not very well (incidentally that's why i was interested in team system). FWIW i use perforce at work and that does integrate with visual studio (on 2003 & 2005) nicely enough. Perforce works on linux as well (GUI and command line which is great for scripts). but it's a server setup, so maybe not suitable for home, and i don't know if it's free to the home user! |

USe TFS at work, Source Safe at home. Source Safe if easy to set up and admin, but is limited to what you can do.
TFS is better (but apprarently still a way off from other tools - the merge funtion sucks somewhat I've been told). But it does cost an absolute bomb, and the version of Visual Studio you need (Team Developer) is about 2.5 times the cost of VS Professional per license... (At least in NL). Stu |
