Subject: Re: Shouldn't WDSC include SCM?


Sounds like an opportunity for a new SCM vendor to enter the scene...
Or, perhaps this could be a community project and offered as open
source (courtesy of midrange.com)....

Sadly, I'm afraid I can't do that. There is a small mater of conflict
of interest.

Given your conflicting position, maybe you could make the case with your team about the need to a package that suits the small shops too?

As much as I liked working with change management (Turnover) in a prior life, we would never be able to justify the cost for our 3 man shop. And in many (most) ways it would be overkill.

I would be happy with a 'Source Control Manager' that simply did two things:
1 - Allow source to be checked in/locked & checked out/unlocked by developer with change notes
2 - Maintain a revisions library to allow us to see prior copies

I just want to avoid source code contention and have a complete history.

It is something we would pay for from a vendor, or contribute to the design and coding of if it were an open source project.
