Yeah we have used their other product SmartSVN, although I prefer to stick with Subversive in Eclipse so I am not leaving my IDE to do this stuff.
I am personally still yet to check Mercurial out as well, but I find that I am happy with SVN and find others just a waste of my time to go looking at them. More of I don't have the time to give them a proper run through than a waste. I use Ant to the hilt, and if there is something I need to do then I can always find other open source projects that can do the job for me. Like the fact that we use an upgrade script written in ColdFusion to help us upgrade our databases and migrate the changes over to our production database, I had been meaning to look into liquibase for this for a long time. And after looking at its power an ease, I think I will be using that more often now. Although I am yet to see how I can use the same changesets to migrate multiple databases, so that might be a downside to its use for us. But all this aside, I am still yet not convinced that the magic of branching/merging with GIT is actually better. From a productive workflow point of view I see no difference between SVN/GIT so that makes me sceptical on people who says it is. -----Original Message----- From: Judah McAuley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 8 May 2010 9:57 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: How are other developers handling big SVN repositories? Ah, I haven't seen SmartGit before. Looks interesting though apparently not full featured. I use msysgit from the command line on Windows. For those looking at alternate version control solutions, I'd also suggest looking at Mercurial. We are likely switching to that at my work and are choosing that over Git because there are more full featured tools available. Mercurial is written in Python which allows for easy hooks into most OSes as well as decent windowing libraries and such. Most of my shop is .Net and currently using NAnt and msbuild for building, cvs for source control, .Net Cruise Control for continuous integration and VersionOne for project management/defect tracking. I can't use most of those tools for my CF work, so I'm kind of on my own but still using CVS and VersionOne. We are likely moving to Mercurial for source control, PowerShell for build scripts and FogBugz with Kiln for CI, project management and defect tracking. There seems to be a pretty nice Mercurial plugin for Eclipse that I'll try out soon. I'm not sure if I'll use PowerShell for build scripts or just use Ant. Still, looks to be a much better stack overall and should play nicely with the multiple development language ecosystem.
