Cross Platform Version Control Systems?

Posted by Cliff on from the writing-your-code-on-more-than-one-system-at-a-time dept.

ignipotentis asks: "I've been given the task to find a multi-platform (windows, macintosh, linux) version control system. Currently, CVS is being used, and it isn't working quite as we expected it to. We are creating large Flash files and CVS is having problems keeping everything straight. It apparently doesn't like the large file sizes. I was wondering what other decent version control software is available that doesn't require a huge sum of money?"

    The truth is, it is hard to reach production quality in an open source project that isn't popular enough.

    I use CVS for my pet projects but I wouldn't trust my work stuff to it, thank god we have a real VCS for "big bucks" at work.
