I want to retire CVS as my version control system and move to
something newer. Can someone recommend a version control
system that fits my requirement below?
My requirement is that I need to store source code, binaries,
and device files. The system must also store the following file
meta data: owner/group, mode, and soft/hard link information.
Preserving and recreating hard links is important as I expect
to have several. Commits and updates need to be fairly fast
as the repository is expected to grow to ~100MB.
subversion. subversion.
There are many commercial and community sites using subversion. It is
not just to store source code but files belonging to different file
type can be stored here. It's more than the improved CVS. You can
access it via http, https, svn, file protocols. The subversion
development team is very active. You can use pre/post hook scripts to
highly customize the repository. The swig bindings for perl, python,
ruby & java are available if you need connectors for Subversion. The
gui client programs like tortoisesvn are available to access the
repository. The web based applications (viewvc) are available to view
the content of repository online.
You can check out[1] link for a comparison chart and you take a call!
