What source control systems have file level permis

Question

I might propose migrating away from VSS due to its inability to grant and deny permissions at the file level. The question is what source control systems allow this.

Update I am marking the SVN answer as the "correct" one, since it had the most feedback. However, there is no correct answer. I will make my recommendations to management based on all your feedback.

Answer 1

Perforce does.

Answer 2

Take a look at Plastic SCM and it's ACL model.

Answer 3

subversion does too, but the ACL is managed in a configuration file

Answer 4

If you are using VSS now, Team Foundation Version Control (TFVS) is the logical upgrade, especially if your corporate mandate is Microsoft-only tools.

Answer 5

Whatever its other flaws, IBM Rational Clearcase does support file-level permission controls. It also has other mechanisms that you can use - notably triggers which can be written to cause an otherwise permitted checkin to fail.

Answer 6

Mercurial does, with the bundled Acl extension
