Love svn. Find git and mercurial hard to use.
I agree. SVN is rather simple compared to the others, and it seems to be more widely used.
I'm up with Subversion too. It can really crank up from time to time but it's usually rather simple to fix ( svnadmin recover repository ). What it fails at is working with moving files or directories around and deleting directories with all files inside ( requires two commits to work properly ). But that's a minor problem if you know it and happens scarcely. GIT seems to be the new fart right now. Never used it so far but many major projects switch(ed) to GIT so it seems to be not a one-day fly. I heard many say that GIT is more "professional" than Subversion. No idea what exactly they mean with this though.
SVN because my mate knew how to set it up.
Ditto that sir
What is version control?
second that
Version control is a software program that you check your code and art assets into and it keeps track of changes and by who. Very useful for game teams as it keeps a track of who does what and when and also handles merging of changes and backups.

wow thanks thats great. now we can use that for our project DBT!!!
I use the one that doesn't suck, SVN.
Sadly i am not working on a project. However, if i did it would probarly been with something easy.
Tortoise SVN ftw!
Same as we use
Perforce. No faffing around with the command line here!
Command line is by far the best.
Tortoise Svn is by far the best for most projects. It's very reliable and there is a lot of free hosting sites such as Xp-Dev and Sourceforge so we use it all the time.
well... i guess this is only needed in large teams
You'd be surprised. I'm in a 2-man team and SVN helps a helluva lot. If you're working on a project as part of a team it's definitely worth looking into.
haha yeah **** mercurial haha that program ain't **** hahaha
versiol control?!
We are using dropbox atm. we had a svn for a while (worked great) but when we needed privacy we found it hard to find a free passworded svn for art and code, so we switched to dropbox.
Tortoise SVN for open source projects, especially for coding.
I also use Dropbox at school for sharing the same project with privacy support :-)
Both are very useful yet easy to use.
Hadn't heard of then 'til today
no projects, stupid comment:
WTF IS THIS?!
How any dev team gets by without at least some sort of source control I don't know. Even if it's just a rapid means of distributing changelists to testers, it's a great tool.
When you have either a small team, or a single person controlling builds, it's pretty easy.
I run a team of 3 with 5 testers, and just having a means for testers to get the very latest version without having to make a build - and for them to only download what they need automatically - is great.
Yeah, I mainly work with two other people, and if I didn't have Tortoise svn I'd still be playtesting a two-week old version. It would be such a pain to check with teammembers every single day instead of just clicking svn update.
SVN, don't know why as I just joined, but so far I find it very good and simple enough for a new user to get used to.
whats version control???!!!
Read my post(around 6th from the top)
Perforce.
SVN all the way
live mesh :33
git all the way mang.
command line 4 lyfe
Svn, so awesome.
The only project i am working on is a map for CNC3
e-mail. :p
svn beats all. the rest kinda suck....
Woot! Go "Not working on a project"! We gotta prove that we're just parasites here, not giving anything back to the community!
...(lol)
I simply keep all builds of my projects on separate zips. ¬¬
...
Using Monotone, this one was big inspiration for Git creators btw :)
wow...these tools sound like something I would assent to using!
RCS.
Works great on your own computer. On two other projects I do use SVN too though.
Currently nothing, used to have SVN but my computer went mad and randomly deleted stuff occasionaly on boot time.
By the time it stopped it broke the SVN installation and I didn't bother getting it again.
Been carefull about my backupping processes since then, but now since yesterday I am using Syncplicity it's not a version control system but it at least makes it quick and easy(actually don't have to do anything) to get my backups online just incase something happens to both my computer and USB hard drive.
Can recommend to everyone, but like I said, it's not version control so only the latest changes will be retrievable... I think :P
I put none because i working on something alone, but I would use svn.
