Should I "retire" the old trunk of a newly-rewritten project?

Recently I've been revisiting an old project, which I last worked on about two years ago. Obviously, during this time I've learned new habits about how best to program, and I've got the itch to keep the tests, scrap the implementation, and re-implement the entire project. It's not a large project, and I believe I'll not be losing much by...

Alternatives to CVS where branching is important

Somewhat stuck trying to find a newer/better SCC system for my employer. My personal darling is SVN as it's compatible across a good swath of machines and relatively fast, but with past/present experience, it's not as friendly/easy to do branching. The needs assessment is as follows: Must be easy to use (CVS is considered easy) Branc...

Undo get latest version with Sourcesafe

Real urgent... is there a way to undo a get-latest-version from a project? I've been working on a project for a week, and never checked in the files I was working on.

On most of my projects, individual or group, I find that I only use version control to simply pull latest changes and post my own code up.

How do you work on Oracle packages in a collaborative, version-controlled environment?

I'm working in a multi-developer environment in Oracle with a large package. We have a DEV => TST => PRD promotion pattern.

Ok, when hired on to my current company a year ago, I was tasked with migrating our development teams from VSS.

I'm using NI's Labwindows CVI and i'm trying to integrate source control, supposably it plays well with anything that fits the MS API, (MSSCC/SCC) but I haven't found this to be the case in practice.
