Advantages and disadvantages of SVN and other controls

Vss

VSS Advantages: The installation, configuration, use is simple, easy to use, simple operation, easy to grasp; permissions can be divided into folder-level, with Read, Check-out & Check-in, Add/rename/delete, destroy four levels of privilege.

Disadvantage: Rights management is based on the form of file sharing, only from the folder share permissions to the entire library folder permissions, and must have writable permissions, versioning and branch management can only be manually set by manual, version release, can only manually select the corresponding version of the file to publish, security is not high, File system sharing enables access to the server and requires a shared storage directory so that the user can perform a delete operation on the VSS folder.

Cvs

ClearCase (closed-source centralized)

Disadvantage: ClearCase too expensive, poor ease of use, training costs are very expensive, no training, difficult to use.
