Floppies, metal filing cabinet, and magnets to attach the two.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Now I am actually curious about all those "A manual system" responses. Is it just a substitute for "None" or do they actually have a way of rolling back the source code, seeing what changes were made, etc.?

Way back before I used versioning I use to just zip the project directory with the date in the filename every time I wanted to "commit".

Keep your opinions to yourself poll man, and just ask the bloody question.

I work on different projects, customers, countries and development cultures.
This means that I can't be too picky about a lot of stuff.
If I join a team to help accomplish a certain goal I just expect the code to be source controlled, I'm not expecting a specific tool for that.
As long as it works, it's good for me (at least has been 'till now).
Cheers!

I use Mercurial for my projects, using BitBucket as the hosting provider (I love that site).
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Almost the same here. I use hg & bitbucket for 'personal' projects. The pricing model is perfectly suitable for small team.

I am on the free account, and actually have a full account because I am a student.

A document library can save any file type with version control. No IDE integration though. But the CEO decided that, since we sell SharePoint projects, we should use SharePoint internally.

Doesn't sound like a 'sound' rationale for source control.
Good luck with that!

For versioning source code?

We sell SharePoint projects for other things but source-code versioning. But the big cheese decided that we should show customers how we're able to get the most out of SP, so...
I've been fighting this particular windmill for over a year now.

It's amazing that the CEO is making uninformed decisions that are bound to adversely impact developer productivity. With all due respect, he/she needs to get their head out of their posterior and focus on growing the business, not micromanaging in areas where they (obviously) have very little knowledge.

I know. We were a small company, part of a larger group. He used to make all the calls. Now that we've grown, he has to share decisions with me (development management) and another girl (commercial/sales management), but still has the habit of nosing around things he shouldn't. The sales girl has it more difficult than I, as I usually get it my way (except on this and a couple of other things), but still...
The worst part is that, as he claims it, he used to be a software developer back in the 90s.

I hear you.
The reluctance to delegate operational control is a common problem, especially with founders of small businesses. It takes maturity, confidence and a certain amount of courage to relinquish control to others. But the consequences of not doing this can be dire. I've seen well-intentioned (and smart) business owners almost bring their enterprise to a halt due to lack of confidence (unfounded, IMHO) in their managers.

Hehe probably yes. Maybe not now, but one day for certain...
