Similar to the thread I started asking about IDE/dev tools, I’m curious to know what people are using as their SCM (source control management) tool.

Currently, I’m using a trial of Cornerstone, but I feel like the $59 license fee is a bit steep for something that only supports SVN.

What are some other good options that you guys are working with?

Are you looking for a provider that will host for you a SCM repository? Or are you looking for recommendations for SCM tools?

One of the more powerful SVN clients I’ve used is Subclipse and it installs as a plugin to Aptana Studio. I also use a fair amount of the command line to check out projects and make updates. I don’t do anything fancy from the command line though. One thought that just came to mind is to use the XCode SVN client since it’s free. I haven’t tried it before, but may give it a run in the next couple of days.

The other thing to keep in mind is that we’ll soon be moving to git (specifically github) so we’ll get to do this all over again smile But github has some very cool features such as letting you commit simple code changes directly through the browser. I’ll start researching some git GUI tools.

Austin - sorry for the confusion there - I’m asking about client tools, not providers.

Dennis - you read my mind about the Git tools - that was going to be my next question. smile
