A Simple Version Control System

"A Simple Version Control System" (ASVCS) is a straightforward and user-friendly version control system, which is incredibly easy to install and use. Unlike other systems, ASVCS is designed to keep track of files in place and does not allow changes to be made within the system. Instead, users must make changes externally using either FTP or SSH access.

Setting up and using ASVCS is a breeze, as users do not need to work with complicated concepts such as repository, branches, commit, and check-out files. All users need to do is upload the changed files and click "Update." Alternatively, users can enable the automatic update feature, which allows the files to be updated automatically.

ASVCS is primarily ideal for small projects or personal use, although it can also be utilized by larger projects that do not require the complexity of most version control systems. ASVCS is written in PHP and is capable of tracking both binary and text files. In addition, it offers automatic file tracking, diff of revisions, easy user access management, and an entirely web-based interface.

ASVCS boasts of a skinable template system, which is open source (using MIT/expat license) and requires PHP 4.4.0 or higher and a supported SQL server such as Microsoft SQL, MySQL, Mini SQL, Oracle 7+ using OCI, any ODBC-compliant server, PostgreSQL, Sybase SQL Server. FTP or SSH access and Cron support (required for automatic file tracking) are also necessary.

The latest version has an improved and cleaner installer, file type icons, better error handling, XHML 1.0 Transitional compliance, and CSS, and bug fixes. In conclusion, ASVCS is an excellent version control system for people looking for a simpler alternative to the more complex alternatives available in the market.
