To ensure you get the best tools for the job, it pays to compare your actual needs with the capabilities of the tools you have available to you. I suspect, from what little information has been offered so far, that Subversion will probably be the most suitable tool -- but there's a certain amount of guesswork in that, and only the person who needs to select the tool can be sure what best suits his needs. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --mojUlQ0s9EVzWg2t Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkvJ65kACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKU9mQCg4T7EpTzli67Cx7xZ7ARYoJXH AEsAn2gbSRhCx5bXfEqZ6K9ObO9HKrfb =r+cl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --mojUlQ0s9EVzWg2t--
