Any suggestions on source control products?
I have looked into:
- Visual Source Safe ($5000+)
-CVS
-CVS NT
-Tortoise
-WIN CVS
What is everyone using and how good is it???
Functionality I prefer:
-Ability to check-in / out files
-History of changes
-Integration w/ Homesite is a plus but not

I moved from CVS to Subversion and I can't look back anymore
The software is here:

For Windowws clients this is a good GUI:

Hey -
We use MS-VSS here, I don't know about the 5K price. We use it for 3
developers and I don't think it cost that much.
I like it alot, it's very easy to use and HomeSite can leverage it. It also
does everything you were looking for. As you prolly already know.
I really dig the way you can
I've been very happy with Surround. I believe by Seapine.
I've also experimented with... Perforce. Perforce is free for up to 2
developers and looks to be able (However I think Surround is much easier to
use).

I'll second Subversion. CVS is great, but if you are starting from
scratch you might as well start with Subversion instead.
Based on your list of things you are trying, be sure you understand the
difference between CVS/Subversion and TortoiseCVS and TortoiseSVN (and
between CVSNT and WinCVS)
Can you comment on the setup of Subversion? One of my issues with CVS is
that it is kind of a pain to start a new project, as compared to VSS. Is
Subversion easier in this regard?

We use Borland StarTeam, which we've been very happy with. Downside:
it can be very expensive, depending on your needs.

What kind of problems?
Personally, I'd say that if you are on Windows you should use Tortoise
for both CVS and SVN -- I can't imagine it getting much simpler than
right clicking on a directory and choosing to create a new project from
that.

The issues were that the CVS server was on Linux, so it involved connecting,
uploading a copy, making a project from that, etc. Maybe I'm lazy. Right
click/add is what I want, so I'll check it out.

Raymond Camden,
If you use Eclipse (or even better, CFEclipse), the CVS integration is
sweet, and it gives you a lot more project visibility than the TortoiseCVS
client. Also, for CVS/Homesite + integration, I've found the Jalindi Igloo
CVS plugin to work rather well.

What did you find difficult about starting a new project? Just run
`cvs import -m created project projectName yourName start` from an
emtpy directory. That's it. Check out a working directory (which
will be empty, of course), start adding your files, and away you go.
I don't know how differen
Heh, exactly what you desribed was too much. ;) I'm just lazy, and prefer
visual tools for stuff.

Hmm, you shouldn't ever have to manually create your projects. Even at
the command line things are smoother than that.
Tortoise is your friend on Windows.
Now, what was that I was saying about keeping things on topic?

While not obviously on-topic, I think this is definitely within
acceptable realm. Source control might not be CF-specific, but it's
definitely a common problem for CF developers, which makes it quite
appropriate, at least in
I'm going to kick myself for pursuing this, but CFCDev is not a
general-purpose CF list. There are lots of other places for that --
this list was created specifically for talking about CFC development and
associated things (like OO concepts used to build CFCs).

As one of the list admins here - I think the rule has always been - it is ok
to go OT for short bursts, but prolonged activity should be avoided. This
was exactly that, a short burt of posts, and Officially I don't mind. That
being said, if people object, I ask that you please email myself and Rob
Sure enough. Ryan's original message went to both CFCDev and CFTalk,
and my GMail labeled it as CFTalk, so I assumed that's where we were.
I retract my statement, apologize for my unability to use my mail

We've had good luck with QVCS. Integrates fine with Homesite.

Taking this further off topic (;-) and feel free to mail me off list
but what exactly does subversion bring to the table that CVS doesn't
offer? Also CVS is good (and the Eclipse/CFeclipse cvs support is
really handy) but there can be issues with branching when using it on
large web projects which

2 cents -
I found this thread to be of value. It helped me to become aware of other
VersionControl systems.
I also agree with your position on short burst threads.
