Revision control for Ruby

Personally I share the same love for Mercurial, although I did not
really like the Tortoise interface.
hg line commands are so great already.

I'm drinking deep from the Git Koolaid, but it always surprises me to see
how often this video is recommended. It's just terrible. Linus doesn't
really say anything of value in here. Well, to be fair, his "circle of
trust" tangent is very interesting, but has little to do with Git

The talk is what sold me on git - it was a revelation to see someone
thinking that deeply and clearly about merge issues.

Thanks in advance.
I work in NetBeans 6.1: it has a perfect support for Subversion, which I
use. It also have built-in support for CVS and Mercurial.

Use what you want! Here are some options:

- RCS
- CVS
- Subversion
- TLA (Tom Lord's Arch)
- Git
- Darcs
- Mercurial (hg)
- Perforce
- Bazaar
- rsync (yes, rsync)
- cp (you'd be surprised how many multinational shops do it this way)

Fancier tools like aegis build on top of some of the above mentioned
tools and provide more robust (read: anal) features that are meant to be
leveraged by a team working together.

Sorry if I missed someone's flavor of the month.

Just remember that *switching* is the hard part, not choosing. I suggest
using something that looks interesting on a low-impact/low-consequence
project and seeing if you like it. If you encounter any gripes or things
you don't like, really, if anything bugs you, switch to a different one
on the next project. Eventually, you will find something you like and
accept its warts (trust me, they all have them, even current golden
children git and mercurial).

Buy-in is pretty much guaranteed with all of these, although
distributing your code in development will be considerably harder with
the RCS, cp, and rsync "options".

HTH,
