Subject: Dumped SVN.

After almost one day, I've decided to not move to SVN after all. It was a bad idea. It can't handle filenames well. For example ISO8859-15 names don't work by default. The insane charset coding policy makes it frustrating for all potential users. CVS is good because it does not have a charset policy. However, I'm thinking of trying something else.. There are plenty of version controlling systems out there.

So long SVN. The network repository is down. I'll probably try something on sunday, and before that there is no online repo.

I've heard people speak favourably of [url=http://abridgegame.org/darcs/]darcs[/url].

There's also BitKeeper... ;)

That is certainly one alternative. Any testimonials about it that you would like to share?

And Visual SourceSafe over SMB ;)

Sadly no first hand experience, just positive reports, mostly from functional programming language freaks (it's written in Haskell)

I've been looking at a lot of alternatives (in theory, but not in practice). I think I'll try [url=http://www.venge.net/monotone/]Monotone[/url] too in practice.
