Does any faster centralized version control than SVN exists?
Hello, I've been using SVN since a long time and now we're trying on Git. I'm not talking on the centralized / decentralized debate here. My only concern is speed. The latter tool is much faster. But sometimes, I NEED to work with a centralized approach, which is much more simple and less complex than the decentralized one. The learnin...
Best distributed version control system?
Possible Duplicates: Git and Mercurial - Compare and Contrast DVCS Choices - Whats good for Windows? I have been using SourceSafe and Subversion for years, but recently decided to choose a distributed version control system (or decentralized source control management) like Git, Mercurial or Bazaar or any other thing.

Algorithm for Source Control System?
I need to write a simple source control system and wonder what algorithm I would use for file differences? I don't want to look into existing source code due to license concerns. I need to have it licensed under MPL so I can't look at any of the existing systems like CVS or Mercurial as they are all GPL licensed. Just to give some back...
emacs local version control
hello. I am wondering if there is local version control/snapshots for emacs independent of VC? let me clarify: every time I save buffer, I would like to be able to keep track of changes of each save in session.

Stop Bazaar (bzr) from making .moved files
Is there a way to tell bzr not to create .moved files? I've tried the --overwrite option with a bzr pull, but it still creates the .moved files. I guess I can just make a clean-up script, but I was just wondering if I am missing something. ...
Subversion and project management web based super tool. Like Team Foundation Server but not TFS.
Hi, We're currently looking at an IT upgrade and I'm after recommendations for a tool which can do some or all of the following. SVN management (authz, web viewer, commit log, diff) Create template projects (1 click e.g. create me a microsite with this name in svn and give these people access) Reporting on code churn, time spent on ta...
git reference common directory/repo
Project layout: /project_a /shared /project_b /shared /shared project_a and project_b both need to contain the shared folder. With svn, we used svn:externalsand that worked fine, since svn can reference subdirs (with relative paths too). However, we moved to git and it seems to not support checking out subdirs. Our solution no...

Git version compatability
Does anyone here using Git for version control have any experience (good or bad) relating to how well different releases of Git work together? To cut a short story long: I am considering Git for some planned home projects, but due to my hodge-podge range of setups using default pacakges from repositories will mean being a full point re...
Eclipse won't save new files in the original project folder
I created a new project from an ant file that was in a folder outside of the Eclipse workspace, under version control. If I change a file that was already part of the project, it gets updated in its original location. BUT, when I create a new folder, it gets created outside of the original project folder, inside the Eclipse workspace, ou...

TFS 2010 - how should VS solutions with shared libraries be mapped into "team projects"?
I'm new to TFS (and branch/merge style source control). I've been reading through the TFS Branching Guide for 2010, but I'm having a bit of a disconnect with how my solutions should be mapped to the source control. I think my main problem is how to understand th best placement of class libraries shared between solutions. Our environme...
