The Visual Studio IDEs integrate with everything that has an interface to the SCC API. I have CVSNT integrated with Visual Studio, for example. One thing I think git and similar P2P systems don't provide, and that's built-in access control. For example, I want to provide customers access to certain projects and possibly only certain branches in a project (e.g. release branches of their projects) but not the rest (e.g. other projects, development branches of even their projects). Is this doable with git? Gerhard --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
