Need advise on SVN / Mercurial / GIT

Sean Scarfo · 2012-04-20T01:15:53

I recently had a change in role in an UDK project I'm working on and it looks like its my job now to organize the group more effectively. (Long story) One of the first things I want to do is get our code, UPKs, and raw content files in repositories. The code repo needs to be able to store several revisions (10 or more). The UPK repo needs to be able to store up to 3 revisions The raw content repo only needs to store the most recent revision. (this is to prevent our repo from hounding all the space we have on the VPS) I'm not going to be macho and say I've done this before. I'm organize groups for my day job and know that only using dropbox has to stop. I'm not sure which repository program / programs will work best with what I need. Can anyone make a suggestion? I'm unsure if SVN, Mercurial, or GIT can be limited for the number of revisions allowed per repo. ~Sean

BTW, does anyone have a recommendation for a GUI admin tool to easily administrate users, groups, and repos?

I tried USVN (took a while to configure the vps to actually work with it), but it did not have enough options for what I needed.

For windows, VisualSVN is pretty good.

Yea, sigh... I'm using a linux VPS. Any other recommendations? I've tried to install SVN Manager (http://svnmanager.org) but can't quit get it to actually create any repos. sigh.

I've used Trac with SVN in the past and didn't totally hate it; might be worth a shot.

Yea, trac looks OK, but doesn't look like what I need to administrate the SVN repos. At this post, I'm about to learn more about linux shell scripting and make my own batch code to add / remove users and create repos.

Sigh, besides UberSVN, there is nothing out there that is A) Updated consistently. B) Supported. You'd think with SVN being 10+ years old, someone would have come up with a decent web interface for it that can be hosted on one's own server.
