I've recently been put onto subversion using tortoise http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
It's a free software versioning tool, tortoise is the windows shell extension so it all works in explorer via right click. files that are the same as the store are green and ones with differences are red.
I've even imported swordfish into my software store so i can see what files have changed on a version update, and it means my libs are backed up. Its also got a nice difference viewer built in.
Does anyone used subversion? if not why not?
Moderators: David Barker, Jerry Messina
I also use Subversion, and have been for about 2 years now. I chose it because it integrates quite nicely into the Windows menu and runs in UNIX. It's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the terminology of a versioning system and how it works, it really helps keep everything organized and safe.
Hi RadioT, I agree but i think its very simple to use with tortoise in windows. I just love the fact that you can look back and do a diff between a current file and one from 6 months ago, without even checking code out or copying files.
What do you other guy's use? do you have other similar tools or do you copy/backup your sourcecode folders?
Richard-just interested.
