Re: [NTG-context] Which revision control system do you use?

2009-03-17 Thread Alan Stone
Can these thingies also be used for document version/revision control also
or are they software dedicated ?

If not, what's more appropriate for document version control ?

Thanks in advance.

They are a great tool for documents, too - especially if these are plain
text files (like in TeX, ConTeXt  friends).

 If not, what's more appropriate for document version control ?
 
 Thanks in advance.

 I used Subversion because it was easy to use with TortoiseSVN but since
 I'm on my Mac I use Mercurial for my files.

I use git. Originally for programming, but it is very useful for
context too. I used to use SVN too, but now prefer git because:

 - it is very fast (instant for most things).

 - Project repositories seem to stay small, disk space is used very
   efficiently.

 - easy per-project repositories, each project is it's own
   independent repository. All the history is under a single, hidden
   .git folder at the root of the project. No central server to
   maintain.

 - I found the continuously incrementing svn repository version
   number confusing with respect to multiple projects. And I seem to
   recall problems with svn when directories were moved around within
   a project.

 - Git has a some nice graphical history visualisation and diff
   tools.

I can also recommend Git.  It's fast, easy to use (no, really!), and
very actively developed.  What's most important about using Git,
though, is that it seems to be the most future-proof alternative.  I'm
sure Mercurial will be around for a long time, just as Subversion
will, but of all the SCMs Git has the best foundation.

I used RCS (it was well supported by emacs;)), but dropped that
prehistoric thing for mercurial (and there's mercurial.el, which is far
from perfect, but nice enough for me).
