[SGVLUG] Revision Control Systems - CVS and Eclipse

[Eric Hammond]

I've followed the path of sccs -> rcs -> cvs -> svn (Subversion)
and maybe -> bzr (Bazaar)

I'm happy for the most part with Subversion (except for branch management).

My little work with Bazaar was because it is the choice for
Ubuntu/Canonical development (with launchpad.net integration) and I like
what I see so far with branches and distributed development.  The basics
of Bazaar are also familiar and comfortable to work with when coming
from a Subversion background.

The other option I would consider purely based on momentum is git.

I've tried a few others I didn't like, but as others have used them
successfully I'm not going to assume my brief exposure was enough to bad
mouth them.
