I have it wired up to an external diff tool (Beyond Compare) that I like. Gitk is pretty basic; I haven't yet figured out how to trigger a diff of a file with the keyboard yet, for instance.James McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901649215141005959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097453493402916890.post-54666181198564219902012-12-03T08:37:31.194+00:002012-12-03T08:37:31.194+00:00Thanks for your comments James.

When I looked at the tools last week they seemed to be in beta.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />GaryGaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936323836479606323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097453493402916890.post-58065096475647465042012-11-30T20:54:11.895+00:002012-11-30T20:54:11.895+00:00Any of the version controls you mention are fine; ...Any of the version controls you mention are fine; certainly miles better than SourceSafe. I've had experience with Subversion and Git, but not Mercurial.<br /><br />At home for a long time I used Perforce, since that's what I've used at work for the last decade or so. Perforce looks like it's free for up to 20 users? Just checked the website. It used to be free for two users. Anyway, Perforce is the de facto games industry standard; it's what Google uses; and it's essentially what Microsoft uses internally. I'm not saying it's perfect but it is nothing if not battle-tested under extreme conditions.<br /><br />Lately I've been learning Git since it's what the cool kids are using and I wanted to make some contributions to a Github project. I was fortunate to have a friend who is knowledgeable in Git help me get going. I haven't found it that bad under Windows. It's certainly clunkier than Perforce in terms of the number of steps it takes me to do a commit, but it's doable. The branching workflow is really nice, too. Perforce has added something called shelves that approximates it to a degree.<br /><br />I know nothing about Mac development but I'd expect Subversion, Mercurial, or Git to be readily available on that platform, so I'm not sure your cross-platform argument is necessarily valid.James McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901649215141005959noreply@blogger.com
