It was horrific to work on because touching the repository in any way took minutes (literally, about 2 in wall clock time to commit or checkout new code). Ns2 was only 135MiB and 6008 filesystem nodes. I know this because it's sitting of in the corner of my current git repository which weighs in at a hefty 3.5GiB, and 22540 nodes. Commits and checkouts on this repository generally take less than a second.<BR/><BR/>I've been using git for about 3 years now and for my 2c I have to recommend it heartily, particularly in comparison to subversion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16341181.post-15367245091573742592009-01-15T06:00:00.000-06:002009-01-15T06:00:00.000-06:00You might like the price on this one - there is a ...You might like the price on this one - there is a free version (called Express-C). It supports 3 users ( you can pay money to bring it up to 10 users, and beyond).<BR/><BR/>I look forward to any feedback you might have - we are looking for lots of datapoints too :-)Anthony Kestertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06706667369235242551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16341181.post-38318771804738146712009-01-12T18:29:00.000-06:002009-01-12T18:29:00.000-06:00Thanks for the suggestion.

Due to a sales job gone bad before I arrived here, buying anything from IBM would be an uphill battle regardless of having no budget for software purchases. The Oil and Gas industry is cutting relentlessly.<BR/><BR/>I will go check out jazz and do a follow-up post. I like getting as many data-points with which to do a comparison.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846371280799024151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16341181.post-48780532973630844742009-01-11T13:20:00.000-06:002009-01-11T13:20:00.000-06:00Hi - you might want to look at another IBM product...Hi - you might want to look at another IBM product - Rational Team Concert (get it off an IBM web site called jazz.net). There is a free version (3 users), and you can try out the other versions for 60 days on eval. The install on the free version is two unzips (one on your server and one on your client). This software has a simple but elegant model where you have your own workspace, then when you are ready to "share" with everyone else, you deliver to a stream (and accept other bits from people who want to share with you). RTC does a lot more than version control, but it sounds like this part of it may get you started.<BR/><BR/>I should declare my interest in all this - I work for IBM - but even outside work I am very keen on this software.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your VCS - whatever you choose.<BR/><BR/>anthony<BR/><BR/>p.s Very active forum on jazz.net so if the software looks suitable for you, and you install it - ask questions on the forum.Anthony Kestertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06706667369235242551noreply@blogger.com
