Visual Source safe equivalent in LINUX?

365 100+
Project development is on Linux for Linux target, but we are using windows based VSS to maintain files. Incase if I want to check-in first time into VSS, first on Linux, create a tar file, transfer that tar file to windows, then untar back and check-in those folders into VSS from windows machine, also if I make any further changes in Linux for those files, transfer the file onto Windows, then check-out that file on VSS, overwrite with newly transferred file from Linux, then check-in that file. Is there any better way of doing this?.

Why use VSS for this at all? Most of us use subversion or git nowadays but it seems to me I once read about something for transferring files back/forth to Visual Studio, but they were doing cross platform development.

Thanks for the info.

I heard VSS client for Linux, let me look for that and download and install.

currently I am doing check-ina dnouts form windows machine, then I make zip transfer to linux, make changes and comapile, then again make zip transfer back ro windows and check-in to vss. takes long time for this process, looking for some shortcuts.

I can't use CVS on linux, since we are already using VSS for all other releases

It seriously takes about 15 min to set up a subversion repository. You really should abandon VSS. Even Microsoft has abandon it in favor of their team server product.
