Thanks for the tips, I also followed your move from subversion. They agreed to use svn for the new projects and since I'm new here I'll take this and proceed with cautious..

As ammo against the manager who is scared of anything that doesn't have the word M****$*** written on the contract that has to be paid for: Bazaar is backed by Canonical and is a GNU project Mercurial is Sun's VCS of choice. Git has the whole of the Linux and Ruby on Rails community behind it. And whilst you still have to shell out for some SysAdmin using these, you don't have to pay a licence fee -- so TOC is far lower. Also of course they are far more efficient and so programmer time is cut making big savings. The downside is only the lower level of integration with VS. Also the Windows graphical tooling is not yet quite as good -- but it will be in a few weeks time. -- Russel. ==================================================== Dr Russel Winder Partner Concertant LLP t: +44 20 7585 2200, +44 20 7193 9203 41 Buckmaster Road, f: +44 8700 516 084 London SW11 1EN, UK. m: +44 7770 465 077 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
