tla, Subversion, arch, or any of the other CVS "replacements". We are rapidly approaching the point where we better start checking code in somewhere and the only thing I know is CVS.

  tla is arch. I tried it out about six months ago, as I've always heard that it's good and was stable a long time ago, but when I actually tried it out myself, it was anything but stable. It didn't crash, but the documentation didn't match the binaries, the --help text didn't match what the program was doing, and the mailing list only wanted to talk about the unstable branch, which was far ahead of, and totally different to, the stable version that I was trying to get to work.

I'll start and say that the article is well written. But if your developers are not able to access kde, this wom't help much. I am running a site with 8 repositories each with mulitple modules and different levels of users on different windows and unix's/linux. The best client I found was smartCVS. The latest beta has great diff, mergs and conflict tool built in. Beats tha pant's off WinCVS and tortoise. It also presents operations so that non-technical users can easily learn the basics.

What are they doing teaching people how to use CVS? Don't they know that Subversion 1.0 [tigris.org] finally came out today?

I use CVS for my current main project, I keep hearing there are better things but what I really want to know is: if I change will I have to essentially begin with a blank repository featuring the latest version or can I convert the change history from CVS to subversion or similar? Anyone know?

  Look here [codehaus.org]
  
  Subversion is so obviously the way to go - it's CVS with all of its limitations removed.
