Codeville
Codeville is a distributed version control system. It began with a novel idea for a merge algorithm and has grown from there. It is designed to be easy to use and scale from small personal projects to very large distributed ones.
- Simple and robust merge algorithm with proven effectiveness
- Well stressed branching and merging with no restrictions
- Simple user interface
- Almost trivial to use for personal projects without running a server
- Keeps client/server model for those familiar with non-distributed systems
- Transparently extends the client/server model to the distributed case, repositories are all referred to by URL
- Simpler branching and merging than CVS, it "just works"
- Basic set of commands with rich functionality
- File name wildcard '...' can be used instead of futzing with the unix 'find' command
- Good performance, even on very large projects
- Strong authentication
- SRP authentication means you will not expose your password to remote servers by accident
- HMAC codes to protect against connection hijacking
- agent so you don't have to type your password all the time
- Disconnected operation
- History browsing and diffing
- Changeset creation for later commit
- Powerful diffing and history browsing commands
- Immutable and verifiable history
- Extensive use of hashes including all of the following
- Internal identifiers for files and directories
- File deltas
- Change numbers
- File and directory renaming which correctly handles all (and there are plenty) corner cases and conflicts
- Cross platform, runs on all major platforms
- Released as open source
