Developers
Are broken builds affecting your productivity?

BitKeeper workspaces are independent replicas where you can check in code, do more work, and continue checking in without polluting the main tree with incomplete work. Check-in, merge, and test -- all in your sandbox -- and push changes up to the main tree when you decide it's ready.

Working remotely? Offline?

Legacy client-server based SCM's may be making your check-ins slow and cumbersome, especially if you have multi-site or remote developers. With BitKeeper, common operations such as check-ins are done locally so they are fast. At the same time, synchronizing repositories over the network is also efficient because only the incremental changes in metadata are transferred.

Want to share, review, and test code easily with other team members?

No problem. BitKeeper enables sideways, peer-to-peer updates that promote collaboration early in the development process. Work, merge, and test collaboratively with team members without ever having to leave a version control environment. No one else is affected until the group is ready to push its changes up to the main tree.

Is debugging and understanding code becoming increasingly difficult?

BitKeeper keeps the most accurate and detailed audit history of any SCM solution in the market with tools to easily query that history. For any modification, developers can quickly see what related changes were committed in the same changeset. BitKeeper's fully annotated history browser also shows all previous versions of each line of code, helping developers quickly see how the code evolved.

Architects
Need a better handle on reviewing and quality-controlling your group's work?

BitKeeper makes it easy to create staging repositories where members of a group can check-in, merge, test and work collaboratively without affecting any other group or the main tree. The lead or the architect can then review and push updates to other groups once the changes are ready for prime time.

Getting serious merge headaches right before a release?

BitKeeper encourages developers to merge and test as they go versus checking in most of the work when a deadline approaches. On top of that, BitKeeper's automerge technology is the best in the industry, making it easy to synchronize different branches. Not only does BitKeeper automerge more code than any other tool, it makes sure that merges are done accurately -- without any guesswork. Merges will also never have to be repeated across multiple branches.

Need more detailed and accurate audit trail of who did what, when and why?

Unlike most other solutions, BitKeeper does not lose individual work that went into a merge and maintains accurate authorship down to every line of code. Issues can be quickly isolated to the right changeset, file, line of code, and author. BitKeeper also provides tools to query the history and generate reports or release notes.

Are rollbacks resulting in big productivity loss?

No one's perfect. Sooner or later you may find yourself needing to roll back to a previous state. In BitKeeper, every changeset is a potential rollback point so you will never be burned by forgetting to tag a version. Plus, BitKeeper keeps a full audit trail of every developer's incremental work, ensuring that any and all good work can be replayed in the event of a rollback.
