Version Control
by Levi Putna · in General Discussion · 10/29/2007 (4:48 am) · 7 replies
Can anyone suggest some good version control / source code control software, I am currently using Subversion but find it difficult to use.
Good features would be:
- free or open source software.
- graph user interface.
- handles multiple projects.
Thanks

There's also the SVN book free on-line which is well worth reading if you're having problems.

If you're using subversion via command line interface and struggling, take a look at tortoiseSVN instead. It extends the windows explorer interface to support commits, updates, log browsing, merging etcThere's also the SVN book free on-line which is well worth reading if you're having problems.

Alternatively (if you are max 2 users) you can use the free 2-user Perforce system instead. http://www.perforce.com/

I'm curious, what kind of problems are you having with Subversion? So far, I think it is the best hands down, but you can also look into FreeVCS. However, FreeVCS has its own drawbacks as well.
