Re: VCS - Any recommendations?

Hi Gerald,

I'm searching for a Version Control System (if possible with included
Bugtracker) for managing my Delphi-Projects. It should be easy to use,
small and stable.

As for version control, I can definitely recommend SubVersion and
TortoiseSVN as a frontend to it. There are several open source issue
trackers that can integrate with SubVersion and I guess also a few
commercial ones. This might be of interest:

I have looked at trac (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trac
http://trac.edgewall.org/ ) but I haven't actually used it yet, so I can't
really recommend it. It looks fine though.

Has anyone experiences with VCS? Which one works good, which bad? Any
recommendations?

I was forced to use MS Visual Sourcesafe for a while and hated it from day
one. I guess the only reason to use it is that it comes free with Visual
Studio and integrates into it, but even with this integration it was just a
pain in the lower back.

I also used Perforce and it was OK but that was several years ago. CVS is
also fine, but since SubVersion is a superset to CVS, why use CVS?
