Hello list, I apologize for this posting being not-much-on-topic, but my other resources have come to naught and I think you folks may have some experience in this area. I'm looking to set up some sort of revision control system at work. Simple enough, except that our situation is approximately the reverse of what most revision control systems are designed for. Unlike, e.g., FreeBSD kernel development, we have dozens or hundreds of small, rapid-fire projects that are created at the rate of 3 to 20 per month. They last a few days or a few months and are (usually) not developed afterward. Each project has one to three developers working on it, sometimes simultaneously. Usually it's one guy per project. Since my programmers are not necessarily UNIX-savvy, I'd like to deploy a web interface for them which will allow them to create new repositories (projects) as well as the normal checkin, checkout, etc. I want to set this up once, and from there on have the programmers deal with managing their own repos. And heaven forfend exposing them to the horrors of the shell. I've built a test server (9.0-RC3, amd64) for experimenting with this stuff. So far I've installed and played with: - fossil. I like the simplicity and light weight, but it doesn't seem to allow creation of new repos at all (let alone multiple ones) from the web interface, and the documentation is meager. I've pretty much given up on it. - subversion, which looks like the heavy hitter of RCSs, but it's not at all clear to me how to handle the multiple-project scenario. Still working on it. - git looks promising, but I have not installed it yet. If anyone can point me to a tool that might be suitable, I would be most grateful. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging </> ]
