Subversion is a decent choice for a corporate environment. Git and Mercurial deal with those issues nicely, although I still can't understand why the folks at Mercurial decided not to store empty directories (and steadfastly refuse to do so despite constant complaints by the actual USERS of the product). SVN has more integration support with popular IDEs, but still has the same basic architectural failings that it claimed to solve over CVS, while adding some new ones of its own. Having CVS and SVN experience already, it took me about 2 days to become fully comfortable in Mercurial usage and management (mainly because Apache integration information was often cryptic or downright false), but that could have been shortened to under an hour if I'd had someone to guide me. If your employees have SCM experience, it's not that much of a leap to learn the new distributed systems, especially once you have at least one person in-house who understands the whole thing. Our shop uses Mercurial, and though it does have some new concepts to learn, the curve is nowhere near as steep as learning CVS was. I have used it in the past, the only time I use git anymore is on the CLI when cloning somebody's code. It seems to have better GUI clients on both Linux and Mac. I have had no good experiences with the GUI on Windows.

I write more Python than PHP, so Mercurial was a natural fit for me. I also like the hooks you can put into the process of working on a repo, the hooks can even be written in Python instead of just a bunch of shell scripts.
#ARAXIS MERGE VISUALSVN MAC#
I think that OSX is the platform that is weak on the GUI clients, I use Murky on my Mac and TortoiseHg on Windows. Mercurial support is pretty good, especially if you live on the command line (since it is written in Python). Just remember, you need a sound backup plan for the SVN server. If you do not have Linux servers or somebody who can administer a Linux server, go the SVN route because VisualSVN server is a very good product. SVN was good before Hg/Git became popular, it still fills a need and Subversion is a million times better than no source control at all.

#ARAXIS MERGE VISUALSVN WINDOWS#
If you are a windows shop, I would suggest VisualSVN as a server and TortoiseSVN as the client. It has been my experience that Subversion has the best clients and server options supported on all platforms. With Git/Hg you will have to define that, determine who has push rights to the official repo. Subversion has less moving pieces, the server is the official copy of the repository and everybody is chained off of that. The learning curve is steeper, but the end result is a better development environment. On the issue of training: Distributed Version Control (Git, Mercurial, etc) take a little bit more IQ points to fully understand and handle effectively. There are 3 main open source options: Git, Mercurial and Subversion. Ok, as with any new tool a company decides to use, there are pros and cons, and not forget about cost (both money and time/training).
#ARAXIS MERGE VISUALSVN CODE#
If there is no code in your link, it probably doesn't belong here.
