Source Code Control System (Windows 2000)
Windows team takes ownership of source code control system which at this point is on life support
Branch capability sorely needed, tree copies used as substitute, so merging is a nightmare
180 source “projects” 29M LOC
No project separation, reaching “up and over” was very common as developers tried to minimize what they had to carry on their machines to get their jobs done
Full source base required about 50Gb of disk space
To keep a machine in synch was a huge chore (1 week to setup, 2 hours per-day to synchronize)
