As Justin already mentioned, plese use the users list instead of the dev
list.
I have used VSS earlier in several sw-projects but I must use a better tool

Again as Justin said, you can do either. THere are a couple of things which
would influence your decision:
1. You can copy files and directories within a repository, so if you have
similar projects you can copy the code and still see its original history.
You can't do that across different repositories.
2. If you are writing code for different customers and you are likely to
want to split that off so you can give them access to only their code, or
maybe sell the intellectual property then it is easier to use separate
repositories. It is possible to split a repository later on but it can be a
lot of work if there are copies between different (unrelated) projects.

What are the binary files you need to put into the repository? Normally you
would only version source files and project files (XML in Atmel Studio).
Object files and other intermediates are best excluded from the repository
as they can be regenerated from the source, they take up a lot of space in
the repository and they make it hard to see what has changed. I had a
colleague do that once; for every commit there were 100 object files
(changed because of because of internal timestamps) and one source file
which may have had a 1 line change.
Of course if you are using Word documents or similar then they are binary
and you don't have a lot of choice.
Hmm....if we sharing code and/or some other documents we must have the

There are several ways of sharing code.
