Posted by michael on from the undermining-cvs dept.

chromatic writes "Rafael Garcia-Suarez has just penned an article about adopting Subversion for multi-user projects. (He also has a previous article on Single-User Subversion). With the recent release of Subversion 0.16 (see the File sharing link), the successor to CVS looks very good."

    Yeah, there are probably things about CVS that could be better. But if you've never used it, and aren't already using a competitor, it's really good.

    That's what middle-school geeks used to say about BASIC.

    cvs is way better than no version control. agreed. hell, PVCS and Source Offsite (the two worst version control systems I've ever used) are still way better than no version control.

    On a project with more than two developers, quitting to work the fryer at McDonald's is way better than no version control.
