There was and still is a very nice competitor in this space called PlasticSCM. They were bought by Unity a few years ago. Unity has not been a good steward. They should have done what Epic is doing and open sourced it. But instead they chose to give it P&L responsibility. Curious what it's contributing to their financials.
- gmueckl 4mo agoSeeing PlasticSCM wither like this is sad. I had rather high hopes for this system to successfully compete with Perforce, but history worked out differently.
- robaato 4mo agoPlastic is usable on surface, but doesn't scale well. If you've ever looked at what Plastic does when you use its git fast-export compatible feature, the results for merge commits are horrible to behold, e.g. delete of a directory followed by add of a file into same dir, then delete of it then rename.
- bentt 4mo agoI’m not picking up how its git export feature maps to its scalability.
