    Poll: What version control system(s) do you currently use, not what have you used in the past?

    The company I work for uses both Clearcase and SVN. I have to say I much rather SVN, but still find the whole merge issues annoying.

    I've lately been reading about Git, but haven't tried it out yet. Have many people used it? Does it compare favourably to other version control systems?

    What version control systems do you like / hate and reasons why?

    Mercurial for everything I do these days.
    In the past, I went from RCS to CVS to SVN (and I still have to use SVN for OSS projects I contribute to that use it).
    But I wouldn't use anything other than a DVCS system anymore if I had a choice, and I personally prefer Mercurial to Git, though it's just a preference (Git does a number of things better than mercurial, like handling large numbers of contributors under a patch system; Mercurial is better at other things like general usability for people who've used older VCS's in the past).

    On that list... Git and Mercurial. You forgot stuff like Sourcesafe and Perforce etc though.

    Oops. Meant to put in a "Other" option. Can I edit the poll?

    'Other' then... we use Perforce, as do a good few other game companies. The licensing is fairly expensive, but the software is excellent.

    I've used SVN for my own stuff, and we've been using it in work too for a while now (was SourceSafe before that).

    CMVC, it's a real pain in comparison with SVN or Clearcase, might be moving to Rational Team Concert soon though...

    Just making the transition between Sourcesafe and TFS. It couldn't come soon enough with all the hassle Sourcesafe was giving us!

    Whats the benefits of a paid scm, when there are so many opensource and good scm implementations ?

    Using SVN here - tagging is a bit of a pain but webdav+ldap is great for just working no matter what the client or OS. Not to mention the ease of integration with other build management software.

    Sourcesafe - what a pain in the nuts - guy checks out whole project, guy goes on holidays, everybody else excluded from project. Nice!
