Microsoft Visual SourceSafe is a source control software package oriented towards smaller software development projects.

Overview


Like all source control systems, SourceSafe creates a "virtual library" of computer files. Users can read any of the files in the library at any time, but in order to change them, they must first check the file out. They are then allowed to modify the file and finally check it back in. Only after they check the file in are their changes made available to other users.

SourceSafe can handle any type of file in its database, but prior versions have been shown to destabilize when confronted with large amounts of non-textual data (images, binary executables, etc). It is not yet clear whether the latest version has improved in this respect, but the storage of binaries is not within the intended scope of the software.
