See: http://www.iglu.org.il/wiki/index.php/Consulting/Subversion I'm included there and would be happy to give support, but I can speak highly of the other two companies there. > 2) It would be nice to have some examples of large Israeli > organizations or companies that use Subversion (or svn+Trac). I believe Intel Israel started deploying Subversion for some of their version control needs a few years ago (email me if you want a contact there). I also know of my last workplace which isn't large by any means, where the Linux team and VLSI team used Subversion (while the Windows team did not use any VCS whatsoever.) > 3) If somebody already used svn under VMS, I would be glad to hear > about your experience, we are only beginning to test it. Sorry I don't. That's what Google yields: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-09/1308.shtml You might be able to build the ANSI C svn client. > 4) If somebody used both svn and MS TeamSystem it would be nice to > hear how they compare.
