Any other option? Just installed the latest version and I am unable to get it to function on Win 7. The Overflow Blog. Podcast Making Agile work for data science.

Setting up GIT and learning a few commands is not a hard thing. The project can grow without having to constantly develop a system to maintain code versioning.

Why not list the other option, no version control system at all? I create my own versioning backup system and via the cloud update all my development systems in real time. The advantage is that everything is automated and runs in the background.

I can honestly not think of a reason why I would use any of the version control platforms listed in this article. Then look at Sparkleshare. It works like Dropbox, using Git under the cover. In our case, we are using Hg and we would not be able to work without it or Git, it does the same stuff. We are constantly merging branches and clones, and our merges often imply more than files.

Some are trying with SVN or worst , and they spend weeks doing merges. Even alone, I do use Hg, it allows me to work in branche, separate my change efficiently, work on parallel tasks and then merge it easily. It also makes me save a lot of time because I can find traces of change I made months ago very quickly and take actions if needed.

I would not switch it for SVN, ever, which as you said is often a loss of time, and I will not switch to a non controlled version system. But now I use SVN. Even for a single user working on tiny projects, it has distinct advantages. It keeps the entire history of the project, not just one or two previous versions.

It keeps log messages with every updates so I can go back and see what I did. If I see a problem, I can easily compare to earlier versions to see where the bug was introduced. When it worked out, I merged it back into trunk.

I find it adds very little effort to use. This is crazy. SVN has no significant advantages over Hg or Git, regardless of team size. There are a number of solutions out there, and you need to do definitive feature comparison so you can decide the best solution that is best for you. I use Git both at work and for personal rjepocts. Its superior branch merging and local branching capability are great advantages over Subversion.

Git is very powerful but as a result has lots and lots of commands, options and features that are confusing and unnecessary for everyday use. However I found that once you learn how to do the basics, you can get by perfectly fine.

There is absolutely no need to set up server or such a thing. Possibly "destructive" features or "destructive power" as you call it are not turned on by default so that no data is lost by default. Start working. Mercurial exposes a clean public Python API, thus many features in Mercurial are moved out to optional extensions in order to keep the core set of commands clean.

I use it on my Ubuntu However, some purists actually shy away from gui-fied SVN clients and use the terminal client instead since it offers much more scripting flexibility and what not.

Not necessary to talk about CVS, I think, it is a dinosaur. One of its big disadvantage — it does not allow to version folders directories. Good enough for small teams.

Latest XCode 4. Very interesting to try git, to learn something new and because it better work with branches as people say. Also it has good clients for all platforms. Also I like that it stores meta information only in root folder, unlike svn has. Also it is very good that git is faster — critical for big projects. Also need to mention following clients: TortoiseGit — open source client for Windows.
