Posts: 10                Hello

Pretty new to the RB ecosystem - starting a new project with a small team (3) 
and I am looking for advices about the best way to do source control.

At the moment it seems - from reading around here and the mailing list - that 
our best course of action would be to use xml format, GIT and include some 
third party tool like Arbed to do diffs and other bulk source management.

I'm pretty sure there is not "one size fits all" solution and I would very much 
welcome feedback before we get started (it is obliviously always painful to 
change that kind of thing mid-project...).

Thanks

I've read that there are issues with VCP format, especially with web projects 
?!

Would your SVN recommendation be the same for single-programmer projects? (Is 
there perhaps a simpler alternative for one person with no need for 
collaboration or networking features.)

I used to use File Hamster (http://www.filehamster.com/).  Works quite well but 
I eventually required a full version control system.  I still use it for in 
between check-ins as a safety net.

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. 

On their homepage, the button says "Free Version". Do you happen to know if 
that's really a free (but limited) version or is it a time-limited trial 
version?

Location: Portland, OR                It is both.  It is the full version on a 
trial basis then after the trial period it reverts to basic functionality with 
a reminder at start up that you are using the free version.

Location: Morgan Hill, CA                Thanks for the feedback Bob and Norm. 
I think that I'll give FileHamster a shot. In looking at its capabilities, 
though, I may end up going with SVN after all. Thanks again.

Location: Boiling Springs, SC                Sourceforge.net is a large scale 
SVN solution that is also free (no trial) and is well known. Primarily it is 
for open-source projects, although you are not required to host open source 
projects there
