Wasn't sure if you wanted testimonials to go to your personal email
Stefan, so I chose the mailing list.
I work as a Systems Analyst (i.e. requirements procurement/management)
for a $1.8 billion (US est.) education media conglomerate at the
corporate level. Only one systems analysis group at one of our business
units (~$400 million US) has adopted T/SVN as of yet. I was part of
this group at the time and was tasked with researching version control
and requirements management tools for adoption.
I chose T/SVN for the following reasons:
1. Directory/Whole Repository versioning.
2. Efficient resource usage (cost, network).
3. Excellent and extensive documentation.
4. Covered requirements for our needs (we had several solutions hanging
around that were unsatisfactory for one reason or another including
ClearCase, Documentum, and more).
I chose TSVN for the following additional reasons:
1. Ease of use.
2. Mailing list quality (have even participated at times).
3. An extremely low (and sometimes negative!) ATITSTFAB.
4. Word doc diff script included.
There are 10 people with r/w access to a repository that contains ~500
.doc & .xls files that make up the requirements and configuration
documents for one particular content delivery platform. I also use it
for my personal PHP application development. We have used every access
protocol except svn+ssh and https. Currently we are preparing to
migrate from svn to http to make use of SSPI authentication (a huge
plus).
I fully expect to extend T/SVN across all business units for systems
analysis and we expect the Java web application development team for the
aforementioned business unit to migrate from CVS to SVN as soon as they
get time, allowing us to store requirements and code in the same place.
As for issues with TSVN, we don't really have any. In short, I'm a huge
advocate for TSVN and feel like this is one of the cleanest, most well
run open source projects available.
