Yikes!  Josh, you got anything to say about that?

Well I have used perforce much more than CVS now, so that is where
I'm most comfortable.

My basic feeling is that perforce is harder to set up, but more
idiot proof while using it, especially for more advance operations
like branching & integration.

I've been playing with subversion a bit recently <http://subversion.tigris.
org/> and like it quite a lot. Bit harder to setup than CVS (but not that much harder if you're familiar with Apache et al.)

Seems solid (and is also free beer & free speech if these matter to you). Branches are cheap, directories are versioned, rename works as you would think. Worth a look.

Cheers,

Adrian
