This has been a very interesting thread. What follows is my analysis of some of the highlights of this discussion. Sadly, I have concluded that I can not recommend CVSNT to my managers, since the quality of the product matters at least as much as the feature-set, if not more. At this point, we are trying to decide between CVS and Subversion. From Tony’s response: ----- I've run successful tests with over 1000 clients (the OS gets real slow under that kind of load so the cvs processes end up not being the bottleneck)... 50 is not a stress test. 50 what happens when an office starts up in the morning and everyone runs cvs update... it's routine behaviour. ---- However, when Rahul asked for the CVSNT version that was subjected to this kind of stress, Tony’s response was: ---- That was probably around the 2.5.01 era... I can't imagine it's got much slower since although I could fairly easily setup the test again. ---- Hmm – so, releases are not routinely qualified with any stress-testing?! Arthur Barrett, in a rather defensive response to Rahul’s post, said: ---- Of significance to me is that build 2221 is one we rejected to send to commercial support customers, though not specifically for that (performance testing) reason. ---- Are builds that you “rejected to send to commercial support customers” routinely foisted on non-paying customers? What is the intent of this process? To destabilize installations at non-paying customer sites and “encourage” them to become “commercial support customers”? --------------------------------- Yahoo!
