Best open source alternative for MS Visual Source Safe?
- by afsharm
We are leaving VSS for TFS or any other alternatives. I'm the one who persists to go for an open source alternative like SVN. Now I'm searching for a good open source Version Control regarding following aspects:
We are in love with open source movement and cross-platform.
Could it be possible to use it with Mono, SharpDevelop and Express editions of VS instead of Visual Studio itself?
What about backup?
Is it integrated with VS without serious problems?
Any API or command prompt access?
Please notice I've read following previous texts about it but still need more help:
