I agree with all you have said David, but what about the small shop that
doesn't have the checkbook for a solid SCM package like MKS? I think
Subversion would be a good entry level iSeries source change management
tool. For instance, I work on a Java project that only ever has two or
three developers in the CVS repository and it isn't an entire ERP package
but simply a smaller software package for resale. Would be a tough sell to
purchase SCM package for just a couple senior developers. In the end do I
wish I had an SCM package to do mass compilings and everything you detailed
below - you bet :-)

No argument ... as with most things, it depends on the requirements.

For the small shop, Subversion is probably adequate ... especially if
the compile and deployment requirements aren't that tough.

Once you get beyond that, however, you're into going to need something
with more control.
