Hi,

I recently finished a project for our local city hall and some people asked me to do some version control for future updates. They suggested the use of a linux script called Recursive Version Control, which i never even heard anything about.

Sure you don't mean RCS ? http://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/ Never used it.

What do you guys/girls use out there? Subversion? CVS? Is there a point in using some linux script versus a "proper" program?

You won't get any sort of revision control with just a script, you need a "proper program" like either cvs or subversion or one of the others (some are commercial - eg bitkeeper).

I use cvs at work (because it was more mature at the time I set it up) and subversion at home.

They are close enough that what you know in one will work in the other for the most part.

Subversion has a few more features (eg renaming a folder in the repository).

I don't like the branching in subversion, it's a lot easier to work with in CVS.
