2/7 Does anyone have actual experience using Visual SourceSafe with
non-exclusive checkouts? I've heard that it's bad at merging, but
nothing specific.
\_ We used to use VSS for years only doing non-exclusive checkouts.
Works fine for the most part. Occasionally a merge will be
tricky, but unless two people are editing the same exact
lines it's not so bad. Eventually we switched to a different
system for other reasons. -bz
\_ What did you switch to, and for what reasons? --darin
\_ I'm most interested in whether VSS barfed at any time, like two
checkins getting garbled, etc.
\_ Used it for ~4 years for thesis work with other folks. Never any
barfage. Sometimes we'd have to clean up a failed merge, but that's
true of any src control system. It was really solid. I'd recommend
it. |
