CAn someone please let me know what is performance of TFS vs SVN over the WAN. I have a scenario where we have multiple teams set up accross geography. Can someone help me decide on what to use?
More sepcifically i would like to know about TFS 2008 performance. From reading on internet, i understand that TFS 2005 was really bad on WAN. But wanted to know if anyone has seen any major improvements in TFS 2008 performance?
TFS is not really designed to work off-line (even though it is possible to work around that).
Subversion is therefore a better choice when working with an unreliable/slow connection. Modern version control tools like mercurial or git are even better in this regard.
That being said, I'm not sure the comparison is useful. Subversion is just a version control system. TFS contains a version control system, build server, issue tracker, project reporting and data collection services, sharepoint repository etcetera.
