I knew Google was using Perforce for awhile. Today I ran into this blog entry and what piqued my interest was the setup and the way Google uses Perforce. Check out that page for details. I also highly recommend checking out the presentation slide on Performance and Database Locking at Large Perforce Sites. Moreover, Google has a custom code rewiew application called Mondrian, written in Django.

Mondrian is a web-based code review system built on top of a Perforce and BigTable backend with a Python-powered front-end.

As a side note, Trolltech lab uses Subversion.

Another side note regarding source control is how
Microsoft organizes branch structures.

Third side note is Joel Spolsky’s advice regarding source control usage on large projects.

Last but not least side note, a comparison of various source control tools is located at Better SCM Initiative.
