Boah pointed this article out to me. It’s a good summary of some pros & cons, from the point of view of a Perforce user.

I love Perforce, and it’s the benchmark against which I would judge other systems, but it is expensive if you are an independent developer and want to work on collaborative projects.

So far I’ve been really happy with subversion, but I must admit that I hadn’t really taken on board some of it’s limitations, particularly with respect to merging and branching.

Food for thought…
