Which revision control system do you use?
Hi all, to start the threat here is what I use(d). On my old Windows machines I used Subversion because it was easy to use with TortoiseSVN but since I'm on my Mac I use Mercurial for my files. Wolfgang

I used RCS (it was well supported by emacs;)), but dropped that prehistoric thing for mercurial (and there's mercurial.el, which is far from perfect, but nice enough for me).

I started with bazaar, then dropped for git http://git-scm.com/ (ASAP, I will look into hg) -- luigi

svn for old stuff, git, and darcs. Aditya
Can these thingies also be used for document version/revision control also or are they software dedicated ? If not, what's more appropriate for document version control ? Thanks in advance. Alan On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 9:56 PM, Wolfgang Schuster < schuster.wolfgang@googlemail.com> wrote:

They are a great tool for documents, too - especially if these are plain text files (like in TeX, ConTeXt & friends).

Thanks in advance.

I use git. Originally for programming, but it is very useful for context too. I used to use SVN too, but now prefer git because: - it is very fast (instant for most things). - Project repositories seem to stay small, disk space is used very efficiently. - easy per-project "repositories", each project is it's own independent "repository". All the history is under a single, hidden ".git" folder at the root of the project. No central server to maintain. - I found the continuously incrementing svn repository "version number" confusing with respect to multiple projects. And I seem to recall problems with svn when directories were moved around within a project. - Git has a some nice graphical history visualisation and diff tools. -- John Devereux

I can also recommend Git. It's fast, easy to use (no, really!), and very actively developed. What's most important about using Git, though, is that it seems to be the most future-proof alternative. I'm sure Mercurial will be around for a long time, just as Subversion will, but of all the SCMs Git has the best foundation.
