[p4] How does Bitkeeper compare to Perforce?

[Ivey, William]

Anyone else notice that their purchase/support plan does not
seem to include version upgrades? It appears you have to go
with the lease option if you want to avoid buying the software
over and over when it is upgraded:

    "This means you can always get the latest version without
    having to retire your old software and buy it again every
    year or two."

I bet that lease costs a lot more after a few years than a
one-time purchase of Perforce + annual support renewal.
(And if you stop paying support, Perforce doesn't take away
your server.)

Hi all,

I'm a happy Perforce user but recently the company I work for ran some
source control evaluation.

One person pointed me to this page:
http://www.bitkeeper.com/Comparisons.Perforce.html

I was surprised to some points in the document to say the least and I
was wondering if anyone here has anything to say about BitKeeper
compared to Perforce.

I looked on Perforce website for a comparison document but could not
find any. Posts on the mailing list are ether old or not greatly
addressing this question.

So, can anyone let me know more information about BitKeeper vs Perforce?

I would be happy to hear about some real production experiences too.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Jeremy
