I haven't used bitkeeper on projects with more than a couple people so I'm not in a position to comment on how well it scales. However, perforce is what is used at NetApp (several hundreds of developers with ~12 LOD) and I have to say that I prefer Bitkeeper. The interface is more intuitive, extensible, and seems to require less kludging. -Kip On Wed, 20 Feb 2002, Mike Meyer wrote: > David Xu types: > > Does Perforce support replicate like FreeBSD's current CVSUP support? > > It's certainly possibly in theory, but I don't know that anyone has > ever tried it in practice. > > > if not, how does it support large number of users or connections? > > In generaly, it works fairly well with large commercial user > communities.
