I'm about to implement a new version control system. My choice for version control is now down to either CVS or SVN (Subversion). The scales were tipping in favour of SVN, until someone mentioned to me that SVN didn't integrate well with IDEs yet. They were a java developer and not a CF developer, so this opinion may or may not apply to what I want to do. I was planning on using either TortoiseCVS or TortoiseSVN on the clients. I personally use Homesite+, but others use Dreamweaver. At some future point we may want to explore the possibility of using Eclipse as well. I'm under the impression that the Tortoise clients will just work with Homesite, but how will they go with Dreamweaver? Do I need to use a client at all, or will these IDEs just plug into the CVS or SNV servers?
SVN is a better product. CVS is better supported. Good SVN -> CVS conversion tools exist.
We have evaluated SVN and will be migrating -- but not yet. We use a variety of different CVS tools and not all of them have equivalents in SVN.
If all you use is Tortoise and have never needed anything else -- SVN is the go. Otherwise the scales might tip the other way, for now. Certainly interest in SVN is growing but CVS is generally very good so there is a considerable amount of inertia if you know what I mean.
Hope that helps,
