Should I look at version control systems beyond Subversion?

Question

Within the last year I have become addicted to subversion. I am an only developer and I also work on a few of my own projects. With SVN its really easy to manage everything

Answer 1

Git, Mercurial and Bazaar are distributed control systems that operate of the idea that you aren't always connected to the Net, and that there need not be one central version of the repository.

If you're doing a lot of detached work, sometimes called "airplane mode", as in you're on an airplane and can't commit, take a look at Bazaar. I've found it easier to acclimate to than Git or Mercurial.

If you're always doing work connected to the Net, and you're the only developer, then you can probably stick with Subversion.

Also, please consider the value of keeping your home directory in Subversion.
