Monticell or Changesets?

Hi,

Coming from Subversion I'm trying to understand if I should be
learning Monticello, Changesets, or both, for version control.

Please advise.

Regards,

Grant

If you read the archive of the squeak-dev mailing-list you find some posts about monticello and some difficulties. I think this is not a problem in the time of first steps in squeak. For my first application with squeak I use Monticello and it is very simple in use and provide all I want.

Cheers,
 Frank

Monticello!
We manage everything (even if we got some problems with managing  
squeak itself)
I think that for system build with monticello (ie not monolithic such  
as Squeak) you will get no problem.

Have a look inside there is a short presentation

Monticello is the "equivalent" of Subversion (but is nicer to work with
IMHO) so you should definitely use Monticello for team/project source
code management. It is very simple to learn and use.

ChangeSets is an older (but trusty) mechanism that more resembles
patch-files in Unix land. We use them for bug fixes etc - and most of us
(we who maintain public packages) accept changesets as small
enhancements/fixes if sent by email. Some prefer Monticello snapshots
though - and definitely if it is more than trivial small changes.

ChangeSets are not easy to use for project source code management. They
can also easily trip you up - especially when doing class renames etc.

They are useful as a "changelog" ijn the image though - I routinely use
them at the same time as I use Monticello - just to be able to see what
I have touched.
