We have just started experimenting with CVS and Tortoise.
The main problem is that it does not know about projects - to it a project is under a
rootdirectory. Our stuff isnt structured that way. And I also wanted to checkin bpls
which are on a totally different drive. I coudl still check them in but I cant check
the
same bpl (or any other shared file) more than once for different projects under
different modules.
The other problem is that because again it does not support projects, working with
the explorer (which sucks to begin with) is a double pain.
We have come across athlant manager that appears quite good. It integrates with
the IDE and knows about projects. It also knows that you cant check in.out just the
pas you have to do the related dfm and dcu too. And one can still use CVS or
tortoise at the same time. It costs - about $300 US per user.. but thats not as bad
several thousands of dollars.
Question
=======
Has anyone had any experience with athlant ? Was it good ? Were there any
problems ?
Source for one
===========
As an aside I found delphi source for another IDE integrated CVS driver - left in
alpha
stage over a year ago,
Other VCSs
=========
I have had a relook at most of them... primary reason to discard them is that we need
concurrent checkouts - otherwise Teamsource is superior. :-)
