I'm in process of integrating GIT version control system into 3ds max to control .max file versioning.
I tested git with max files for several weeks and have found that it suites my needs, but, anyway, git is little bit overcomplicated for this kind of tasks. What I'm looking for is the program that works just like (well, almost) git, but:
- is naturally born windows program - git failed several times on my network shared folders and destroyed my binary max files. This is the main problem, and I don't know how to solve it.
- doesn't (doesn't even try to) process file content. I think that speeds up the workflow.
- has interface close to TortoiseGIT.
What this software has to have is:
- commit and log commands
- branching support
- be distributed and not server oriented like Perforce.
I tested Mercurial, but it is really slow on large binary files. If someone knows how to speed it up (by disabling content management, I suppose) and have TortoiseHg fully functional, any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
