Jeremy and others:
What do you mean by:
network enabled client-server architecture,
better integration of third-party XML diff tools like
Altova
DiffDog.
These are probably red herrings; they are severe lacks in Visual
SourceSafe, not Surround or Perforce. VSS uses network file-sharing and
does not have a server app; it relies on file locking.
The biggie for us is that Surround SCM does shares and Perforce doesn't.
Think of shares as Windows-type multiple shortcuts in different depots
that
point to a single file. When you update the file, all the
projects/builds
in different depots are immediately updated.
Perforce can do this also.
We here do a similar task with a simple script, that assemblies
a client spec out of many pieces of parts of the depots.
Every user calls the script to populate his workspace.
Now the client spec's sometimes are 20 lines long.
The big advantage is, that we have good control about the changes.
Bye
