I agree with Bill; I use Subversion and I'm really happy with it.
I'll offer a side discussion here then: In other IDE's I've used,
source control was a separate process to code development.
Let me guess: Visual Studio?
Just about all of the free or open source SCM solutions that originated
on POSIX systems, including CVS and Subversion, come with a command
line program only. Most of the GUIs are either separate products, or
are developed by third parties.
The process was to: first visit the SCM application and update to all
the latest versions; then enter development; and then at the end of
development, kill the development app and run the SCM app again,
committing any changes. Do other people use or recommend this method
on OS X?
Yes. Back when I used CVS, I used Sen:te's CVL client as a GUI for CVS.
Now I use SCPlugin, which is AFAIK the only working GUI for Subversion
on the Mac.
And you don't have to stop Xcode, either. When you make a change to an
Xcode project, the project is immediately saved, so it's OK to run the
SCM client program at the same time as Xcode and even commit changes to
the project while Xcode is still running.
