source control software

[Raymond Lewallen]

Does anyone recommend a good source code control software other than Visual
SourceSafe that integrates well with VS2003? One specific requirement we
have is to require that comments be entered on an edited file before it can
be checked in, which through our experience, VSS does not have a
configuration for that kind of requirement.

Thank you,

I would suggest using Vault (http://www.sourcegear.com/vault) However, due to the limitations of Source Control integration into VS.NET, you'll never get the option that you wish for applying comments.

I am not sure if it will allow you to enter comments, but

hey Raymond,

We've actually been happy with NG3 over here. Been using it about 8 months
now.

http://www.ngsource.com

Pretty similar to VSS, direct VS2002/2003 integration, basically acts as a
VSS standin/proxy. The new version is pretty good, and for 99 bux a
license, smokes VSS.

SubVersion - http://subversion.tigris.org/
Windows Shell Extension for SubVersion - http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
Visual Studio .NET addin for SubVersion - http://ankhsvn.tigris.org/

SubVersion vs Visual Source Safe - http://www.wadhome.org/svn_vs_vss.txt

SubVersion has its own inbuilt server but if you want to use something a
bit more robust (read seucure) you can use the Apache web server.

there is no IIS isapi filter currently available which will let you use
subversion respritorys over iis - i am currently investigating building one
but at least at this point in time its a bit over my head.

the source code for the front-ends are available, the developers are
aproachable so if a feature isnt there ask them or code it yourself.
