Question

Simple. I use Vault to manage my personal source files. But I don’t like to check in/out outside the Delphi IDE.
Delphi XE supports Subversion so I wondered… Could I also get Vault to work with this? If not, are there alternative add-ins for Delphi for free available?

At work, I use a commercial product as Vault add-in. This is not an option for my work at home, which are just hobby-projects… Vault is also supported by Visual Studio so with Prism, it works. But the Delphi IDE doesn’t.
Btw, Sourcegear Vault is free for single-user environments. To quote:

Somebody said that Vault is FREE for a single user. Is this true?

Yes. Vault is free for use by a single user. Simply install the product and
do not enter any serial numbers at all. When no serial numbers are
present, Vault behaves as if there is exactly one user license. Note that
this free license does not apply when the product is used by more than one
person. If you have two people who need to use Vault, you will need to
purchase two initial licenses. If you enter a serial number containing only
one license, then the product will still have exactly one license
present.
And to be honest, it works very fine in my own single-user environment. 🙂

Available options:

1. You use and modify the SVN
   integration code you can find on
   SourceForge (although IMHO it’s not
   a good implementation, especially
   the menu layout).
2. You write a whole integration on your own using the OpenTool API (it could be a bit complex if you never worked with it)
3. If Vault supports the MS SCC interface (it should, if it works in VS), you can buy a plug in like SourceConnexion that adds SCC support to Delphi. Don’t know if there is a version for XE already
