Hummm, guess it is time to move to VisualSVN, I did a quick look at the demo video and I liked what I saw too.  Still need to digest Greg's long post about branches, man, too many things too fast .

Hey guys, I have been using the Vault tool for a while, but after the links posted here about the VisualSVN client and server I just thought it would be worth setting up a test.

I had tried SVN a year ago or so, and for me it was such a pain to set the server and then working with it, etc., that I just went to Vault. This VisualSVN Server solved it, it is amazing. Then I installed the Client and here goes some impressions:

• The integration with VS has been working fine. To be honest, VS seems to be working a lot faster.
• I like the Update process better, making it easy to work offline with the notebook when needed. New files added to the solution while offline are found a lot easier then with Vault.
• The price is good, US$49.00 each seat. There is a discount policy apparently for quantities. Vault is something near US$200.00.
• It is a file system based source control, so there has been some need to create command line batch files using svnadmin to produce backups, Vault is based on SQL Server, but no big deal.

So, so far so good.

That is an important button...and there is no arguing about who screwed something up! (it just sucks when it proves that you (meaning me) screwed it up )

Just a final thanks, I am up and running and have my biggest current project ripped out of VSS and into subversion with three developers working on the trunk and a BRANCH for my current production version... awesome!

I love the flexibility of the product too, many more features than I ever had with VSS, I scared some of my guys when I showed the them "Blame" button

A happy day indeed!



Let me know if you have any problems or questions.

Cool

"Setup source control in 7 minutes"

Yeah, right!  Don't believe it!  It took me nearly 10 minutes!!

Man that looks REAL appealing... I found a nice video on their site.

Looks like I might FINALLY be able to kick VSS to the curb!!!

I hadn't realized that VisualSVN had a server package. Nice. I use VisualSVN for integration within Visual Studio and it works great.

Any of these will take some energy to implement, but just be sure that you are on a solid platform and doing something that is reliable.  Greg has been using Subversion for a while now so I am sure that he has gone through most of the heartache, so if he recommends it, then I am sure it would be a good fit since it is free
