- SourceSafe. Will eat up your files™
- ClearCase. How do I merge that branch? The ClearCase admin will be here in two weeks, he’ll help you. Hopefully.
- TFS. Only works within Visual Studio? That’s ok, we’ll just use
A SEPARATE VCS to store our java files. - SVN. Ah, you mean I don’t need to mark a file I’m editing, only when I actually commit it? Nice. But merges are still hell, and svn update takes forever.
- git. You mean I can switch to another branch is about 20 milliseconds, and merge in back in a second? Sweet.
The End?
Tomer Gabel:
Once thing that isn’t so trivial is getting commercial Mercurial/git hosting, with all the usual integration options (issue tracking, user management etc.) When JIRA Studio begins supporting dVCS we’ll probably migrate; either that or if we find a better integrated, hosted solution.
