Use Visual Studio Used for development. VSS ProceedSource codeVersion control, except for several timesCodeThere is no big problem. However, there is a large project recently, 10 Multiple projects are placed in one Solution Medium, Update All at once OS Crash 5 , 6 Minutes. I 'd like to try it. Team Foundation Server But the server performance is not good. I had to do it. I finally used it with my colleague's introduction. Subversion After several months of use, I felt very good about the big project. Update A few seconds. Therefore, the source code management system of the entire department has been VSS Changed SVN Here is a brief introduction, pointing out a solution, more detailed content depends on your own.

 

SVNOverall impression:

1.
lightweight, server and client only a few m sizes.

2.
fast, check in/out , Update/commit all of them are fast.

3.
multiple access methods ( HTTP, HTTPS, SVN , file ), server directories do not need to be shared.

4.
detailed permission control allows you to access each directory.

5.
server and client all have open-source implementations, no copyright issues.

6.
not only applicable to vs development, other development or document management functions can be used SVN .

ServerAndClientSupports various operating systems.

 

Install software (go to the official website to download the latest version):

Server: If yes Windows Platform, the most convenient way is to use Free Integration package Visualsvn-Server ( Www.visualsvn.com ). Apache ( HTTP ) And Subversion . For other operating systems, go Subversion Official Website ( Http://subversion.tigris.org
) To download the corresponding version, you can also go Http://www.subversion.org.cn/ Download the Chinese document.

Usage tips:

1.
the biggest bad habit is that the version library name does not support Chinese characters (only names, vs the Chinese file name in the project is correct ), when there are too many version libraries in the system, I don't know what the project is and who is responsible for the project.

2.
now Internet many free SVN space, such as www.chinasvn.com , www.svnhost.cn , it is convenient to build your own open-source project or private project.

3.
in VSS we use exclusive check
out , SVN the idea is to share check out , I think it is very good. SVN the manual says," locking does not do anything except constrain productivity ", of course, SVN You can also manually lock a file.

4.
subversion and tortoisesvn all Chinese translated and maintained by fans pdf the manual is very meticulous and friendly.

5.
supports full backup and Incremental backup by means of version branch, merge, Tag, manual or script, supports dual-host images.

6.
it seems that VSS tools imported to SVN , but I have never used it.
