RE: CVS vs Visual SourceSafe |

Hi!
I think there is not much decide about SourceSafe yes or no.
MS SourceSafe is old, not maintained by Microsoft any more (they are
about to develop a replacement as far as I have heard), the use locking
instead of concurrency, etc. etc.
No, really, you'd better decide between:
- CVS (https://www.cvshome.org/)
- CVSNT (http://www.cvsnt.com/cvspro/ - http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/)
- Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/)
You should ask yourself:
- Do I want several developers to be able to work on the same sources at
the same time? (all of them do this, MSSS does not)
- Do I want to be able to do check-in/check-out over HTTP/HTTPS? (I
think, for this Subversion would be the best choice)
- Do I want my developers to have clients available on any platform? (I
would say then the ranking might be somewhat like: 1. CVSNT/CVS, 2.
Subversion, 3. MSSS)
(Note: CVSNT is _not_ for Windows NT only, more than that it is a
somewhat more advanced CVS system, available on almost all platforms, as
is CVS.)
Best regards,
Peter

I have to make a decision between CVS and Visual SourceSafe..
What are advantages and disadvantages over each other program??
