copy-modify-merge? Can you name a proper commercial tool that uses copy-modify-merge? Why is this?
2 - I'll tell you how I would set it up: each
developer owns their own source files. They're responsible for those files. I can tell you that does not scale well to a corporation with > 1000 software developers. Imagine code being critical pathed on a single developer!
3 - One person needs to
understand the entire file intimately. If you're code is such that there's only one person that can understand and modify it in a reasonable amount of time, you've got bigger problems than copy-modify-merge.
How could you, as the project
manager, possibly allow two different developers to simultaneously modify two different parts (or, in the worst case, the *same* part) of the same file? How could you, as the project manager, possibly allow development on the code base without software development plans, coding style policy, and design/requirment documents? No version management system is a replacement for poor coding practices and lack of software development process. It's just that certain versioning systems hide it more than others. - michael hordijk |

Perforce (http://www.perforce.com/index.html ) is the best , in my opinion

If opencores incorporates perforce it will give it more professional touch
and it just might become a news item too in some EDA magazine :) Maybe Opencorse should try getting Perforce Licenses Please, no. I just mentioned it because it's what I have to deal with currently. Perforce hasn't developed much past CVS, save for the fact that it has more merge tracking built in than CVS/SVN. However, when compared with other open source offerings in an uncontrolled envioronment (outside of a company) as RCS. Choose it over other free projects if you need the support contract and can't find anyone to give you support with SVN or the like. - michael |
