Within the last year I have become addicted to subversion. I am an only developer and I also work on a few of my own projects. With SVN its really easy to manage everything - and because it is hosted on an online server though HTTPS I can access my code from anywhere. It is also great for deploying code to our production/development servers.
My point is that it does everything that I need it to do and has never failed me.
Is there anything better? Am I missing some feature in another product that I could be using to make my life easier? I am always all about using the best software out there and have no problem migrating to new technologies.
I have heard of GIT and have done some research. I plan on giving that a try but while I am messing with that, are there another other source control systems that are considered "industry standard" and do they do things better then SVN?
Git, Mercurial and Bazaar are distributed control systems that operate of the idea that you aren't always connected to the Net, and that there need not be one central version of the repository.
If you're doing a lot of detached work, sometimes called "airplane mode", as in you're on an airplane and can't commit, take a look at Bazaar. I've found it easier to acclimate to than Git or Mercurial.
If you're always doing work connected to the Net, and you're the only developer, then you can probably stick with Subversion.
Also, please consider the value of keeping your home directory in Subversion.
