we recently chose BUTT over ASS for our SCM solution. BUTT, or Brave User Text Tracker, worked fine and had the same cardinality on the set of issues experienced as ASS, or Applied Source Solutions. Both tools possessed a rather large outflow of community support, unfortunately ASS had that proprietary smell about it, possibly locking us into the large corporate throne above the abyss. The new kid on the block REAR, or Real Edit And Replace, seems quite promising addressing some of the blockage BUTT has with a few items. Other products do exist, but they add a whole new Dimension to the subject at hand.
sorry, I couldn't resist...lack of sleep and coding like a monkey brings out the twisted creative, eh? I recently forced CVS onto the members of my team. So far its been fun. TortoiseCVS makes it fairly simple. The only real difficulty is branching and merging of branches, a tricky thing for sure. We went with CVS/tortoise because it was free, well known with a great public support, and our team is small. Our company has officially chosen Dimensions, a huge product that is not for the faint of heart.
