We recently migrated our IntraWeb sources from StarTeam to SubVersion (SVN)
Many projects are apparently hosted on SubVersion repositories these days. So is our IntraWeb source now.
So far it works very nicely. Its fast and painless to work with. Much less permisson and other admin related stuff we have to deal with now. It just works
The best thing is, we were able to migrate our history from the old StarTeam server. There is an SVNImporter (written in Java) which has a StarTeam module.
For those who don’t get what I’m talking about:
SubVersion / SVN is an Open Source Version Control System (VCS) i.e. part of a Software Configuration Management (SCM) environment. It can be operated in a traditional client/server setup or even “standalone” on a single machine. Server and clients are available for Windows, Linux, Mac, Java and other platforms.
Here are a couple of links to get started:
- Main Web site:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ - Free Windows client, integrates with Explorer. Most users use just that:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ - Standalone client, free “Foundation Edition”:
