Very old news.

And yet some of us are stuck using CVS.

Some of us are stuck using Clear Case or Visual Source Safe. Whatever source control you're using, someone always has it worse.

"someone always has it worse."

Unfortunatelly, not in your case. ;)

What was the name of that version control tool before CVS, RVCS? Back in 2007 I had heard one very big name hardware company using that for version control and planning to move to CVS as they thought the former was beginning to show its age.

Or you could talk to Joe down the hall. He has the 'gold' version of the source code on his desktop. Don't forget to send him your changes when you are done and he will integrate it to the current 'gold' version.

You're thinking of RCS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_Control_System

I used SCCS in the 80s. Not sure if that was the one you're talking about though.

The company I'm working at actually moved to ClearCase a couple of years back. It's the most painful development tool that I have ever used and I pity any future victims of IBM's marketing skill who choose to adopt it.

"someone always has it worse"...

That was my previous place of employment: in-house perl scripts wrapped around RCS. Absolute nightmare.

I would rather have Clear Case than SVN. As bad as it is, at least it can branch and merge.

Indeed. When I clicked the article link, I expected to find something from ~2007.
