Souce control.

Why does /prog/ never discuss source control?

It's SE, /prog/ iswants to be more about CS and the theoretical aspect of programming, or Lisp circlejerking.

In the Haskell era, /prog/'s choice was darcs for obvious reasons.

/python/ uses mercurial

>>3
That's why it sucks.

Fuck, I LOVE souce control!

Why would we?  Nobody needs anything other than git.

In order of worst to best

cvs
svn
git

>use git for everything. i know because i've tried THREE, yes THREE SCM before.

>>8
I thought that was funny too. On the other hand, those are the only 3 I'd actually think to reach for. Mercurial's probably better than cvs at least though.

>>8
Wow, you've almost scratched the surface.  I've used (in no particular order) clearcase, rcs, cvs, svn, hg (mercurial), git, and bazaar.  You'll find plenty more out there; try to be a little more experienced before striking an authoritative tone.

>>10
Why bother listing cvs and rcs separately?

>>10
Clearcase
BARF

>>10
>>8
huh?

>>7
there, ftfy

>>10

because RCS "just works". CVS doesn't. To speak with the words of Linus Torvals:

CVS sucks. Also, I'm really not good at doing this talking stuff. Oh, and all you guys at Google suck. If you use CVS, you suck. Everyone sucks but me. Yay, I wrote a Kernel! You suck! I am god! [mostly sic from a tech talk at Google]

>>14
Boo hoo, I don't understand humour and it makes me upset!

>>15
I'm British.

>>16
I'm wrong.

>>15-17
I'm quoting non-existent text.

>>18
The jews are after me.

>>19
The jews are after him

>>19-20
jew spam is funny, amirite?

>>12
Yes, clearcase was the worst.  Most of those I've used because they were mandated by whatever project I was working at the time.  I'd like to say the manager who chose clearcase got fired for his poor decision, but he's actually been promoted since then.

Due to company politics and "herp derp it's free so it must be shit right?", we have to use Perforce at work. It's fucking terrible. I can't believe how the Perforce creators can stay in business peddling shit like that.

Try SourceSafe, prepare to re-evaluate your life.

LOL using at using anything MS especially when you really meant to use Git.

You might as well ask
Why do loners never talk about Facebook?

Use git because that's what the largest amount of people use.

This. So many times this. I've had to use VSS with the company I work for and I've literally never seen software so bad.

Pidgin, CVS, whatever horrible creature you can fashion from the quintessential bogeymen of software is much better than VSS. VSS is supposed to be a basic versioned filesystem, except it fails miserably at that task. Some of the dialog boxes I've seen have random strings of meaningless extended ASCII. I showed one of those to my coworker and he just laughed.

It regularly screws up file histories (to a point where you can easily lose hours of work if you're not careful) and its integration with Visual Studio is about as good as you'd expect considering that it's VSS. If Visual Studio crashes for any reason, VSS goes HERP LET ME REPLACE YOUR MODIFIED FILES WITH THE ORIGINALS. I SEE VISUAL STUDIO CRASHED, THAT MUST BE WHAT YOU WANT.

It's slow as fuck because there's no central marker for revisions, each file history is maintained on its own. This means that it has to check every fucking file.

There's nothing about it that's suitable for a team of any size. Seriously.

ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS INTEGRATIONS PLATFORM

I used to be a big fan of subversion prior to dvcs catching on.  I learned git and mercurial simultaneously, and used mercurial for about a year as my primary vcs.  About 6 months ago I switched to git, since I liked working on some other projects that use it more than mercurial.

/prog/ doesn't discuss version control because autists are basement dwellers still in school that will never have to share oxygen with another human being let alone code.

Clearly, not ready for enterprise.

Your message was perhaps one of the strangest pieces of email I have ever received. Although it is flattering to have a ``fan club'', in fact, it is a very bad idea. Unlike most of human society, science and engineering are based on the idea that each of us is capable of evaluating evidence and thinking on our own. Each of us can do experiments, work out the reasoning, and determine the truth for ourselves. There is no room in science or engineering for ``fans'' representing group approval over individual thought. One of my heros, Galileo, put it very well:

In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.

I am pleased to talk with people about matters of science or engineering, so you and your colleagues may certainly send me mail. I hope to learn as much from your experiences as you may learn for me. But please get rid of the ``cult of personality'' way of thinking. It is unscientific and ultimately destructive.
