Hey I'm just wondering if any of you have a neat system that you use for version control. I'm interested in something as automated as possible with a graphical user interface client. (For windows mainly, but cross-platform would be nice.) Also something that can be feasibly installed on a remote web host. I got cvs installed but I cannot find a decent graphical client for windows. WinCvs really sucks in my opinion because I can't figure out how to use it. After spending an hour I only came as far as actually logging into CVSROOT via ssh. I'm having great difficulty installing svn on my web host. But I think I can get it done eventually.

I've only ever used subversion (aka svn for people who can't distinguish commands from names). It's not hard to setup, but it does work much better if you set it up properly for individual projects and have your own server which you can control completely.

Yeah the problem I have is it's a web host that gives me very limited control. I had to battle them to get SSH access.

subversion is much better than cvs, seeing as it was designed with the purpose of replacing the latter. For a graphical interface I use an Eclipse plugin (subclipse)

Subversion? Windows? TortoiseSVN is pretty excellent.

Use Subversion with TortoiseSVN on the client. For connecting to the server, you can use svn+ssh:// in order to connect to the Subversion server over SSH.

Are you against using RPMs?

Post subject:	Re: cvs, svn, something else?
I can't use yum because it requires root access to the server. A .rpm gives a long list of dependencies. I have all the dependencies, but I don't know how to tell rpm to use them even after wading through the man page.

Yeah, if you can't get subversion installed yourself, the server admin shouldn't mind doing it for you. Sucks about the dependencies problem though, that's the worst (in my opinion) thing about using Linux.
