   Source control is a must for any professional development. I've
used Microsoft SourceSafe (which absolutely stinks) and Perforce
(great product, tons of features, and has a free 2-user download for
personal use at home). We've used the same product for both
programmers & artists. Sometimes, the code & data are in separate
databases, sometimes they're in the same. [The latter is much easier
for branching w/ perforce.]
