CVS and Subversion is a bit beyond my time and I never had a chance to use them. Mercurial seems to be getting steam?

- dozzie 12y agoNot quite. It appeared about the same time as git and Hg already lost its battle against git for becoming The VCS Of The Choice[tm]. Even then, Mercurial works in about the same operation model as git.
- wirrbel 12y agoTo elaborate: RCS, CVS, Subversion and Git (moreover Hg, etc.) represent a generation of Version control, each revolutionizing the way we work with source control. RCS introduced version control CVS introduced version control with code exchange on a server SVN introduced version control with atomic committing and repository wide file versions (as opposed to file-specific revisions). To me it seems that HG is in that sense very close to Git. However I do wonder what might be the next revolution The Git/Hg generation popularized decentralized version control and made code-sharing easier than ever.
