No arguments from me about using vi. I no longer recommend Subversion for anything. There are better tools, and they come down to Mercurial and Git. Since you have Windows clients, that rules out Git. Mercurial has better windows clients than does Git. Most everything that Git deoes, Mercurial does as well. The way it is done may be slightly different, but the net effect is similar if not the same. If your firewall allows HTTPS through, then Mercurial is a very wasy drop-in. No need to open up any more ports. Ssh can also be used, if that port is open as well, or instead. Mercurial is also a pretty easy learning curve when coming from CVS or Subversion. Joel Spolsky of Joel on Software has a pretty good tutorial. http://hginit.com/ -- John H.
