Subversion

Subversion is our prefered tool for version control. With the latest version you have merge tracking and can compare history of word and excel documents, (when using the tortisesvn client). With this new functionality I can see it being our document management system as well. It is fast, easy to set up and transactional, (commits all your changes or none at all unlike pvcs). As a added bonus it is opensource and free to use.

There are many clients for subversion the two we prefer are

This is one of the core bits of software you want running on day one of a project.  We had a architecture team try to force us to use pvcs which is non transactional and pay for the privilege.  What a step backwards that would have been.  It was only that we had it running in our build process from day one that stopped this happening.  It was a bit of a lesson for me, if you want your key bits of technology supporting the development process have them running on day one.  I wish we did the same with our bug tracking tool.  Unfortunately we were forced to use trackrecord which I would not recommend to anyone, (especially when there are some many excellent open source bug tracking tools).
