Hey all,
we have a problem

We need to stop using mercurial for our asset management. The current repository is already 500MB huge
when its freshly checked out and its not going to get smaller as the game grows to new horizons!
I've been looking for alternatives to our asset management and I've fund 2 options which we could use:
First there is TACTICS (Short video tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wI87NEIunI).
Its an open source web-based software and is used by bigger studios to manage their assets.
Its not very easy to setup, and is probably overkill for what we need.
The second option is Owncloud (
http://owncloud.org/features/). It has a desktop client like Dropbox and keeps a file history.
It has also an extendable web-interface which we could use to generate packages from the file structure which can simply be extracted into the sumwars folder cloned from Mercurial.
What do you think?
