I recently looked for one but ended up settling on www.github.com and going with git.

It is far more simple and easier to use.



However, cvsdude was number 1 on my list for subversion.



Hope that helps.

Definitely recommend looking into distributed VCSs. git is nice, but my fave is Mercurial.



Sweet online hosting option: bitbucket.

We use Plastic SCM, which I quite like. It's very powerful.

both xlw and quantlib use SVN.



I use tortoiseSVN as the client.



It's ok. Main annoyance is finding out a bunch of conflicts because someone's reformatted the file you are working on.

yo fdax, would you mind giving a little more detail as to why you use Plastic SCM rather than standard SVN?

Dear FDAXunter,



Do you use Plastic SCM for, khm, Excel/VBA?

Cool, Plastic SCM has a Visual Studio integration

pj:



I don't really use Excel to write much code.



You could use Plastic SCM for Excel, easily. Mind you that Excel uses binary format for it's files, so some of the code analysis features don't work (same for any other SCM system).



danko:



I prefer Plastic SCM because the whole system has been designed back-to-front by the same house. It has great Visual Studio integration (Eclipse, etc. alll available as well). It's fully distributed (multiple servers, multiple sites).

It also features a lot of visualization/code analysis tools that are built in. It's nice to work with, in particular the branch explorer is very helpful.



Of course, it's not free (but they have a free trial and it's free for academic/open source).

pj, apparently there's an office plug-in for Plastic SCM as well now....
