RE: Any good product / option for Source code control

PVCS is a nice tool, especially when combined with PVCSTracker for change management. VSS (Visual SourceSafe) and PVCS offer similar capabilities when compared side-by-side. PVCS has an (optional) promotion model that VSS doesn't have (although VSS Labels can 'fake' it). Both tools have a command line capability contrary to Steven's note. PVCS has an API that is callable from 'roll-your-own' tools which is fairly cool of you want to write a lot of C/C++ code. VSS on the other hand has an exposed API that is callable from VBScript as an Active-X object....so that you can automate pushes through Active Server Pages and the like (been there..done that!).

They're both nice tools....but they're just _tools_ . You need to figure out how to best use them before you roll them out.
