Model Management Software

Hello Matlab community: Are any of you aware of configuration management software which can handle m-files and simulink models? We're looking for revision control in a central database that can be preserved for years (or decades). Thanks, Matt

I have used subversion with Tortoise SVN quite successfully. I tend to perform the check-in/check-out actions outside of MATLAB and Simulink. I know other people have used CVS and Perforce as well.

In addition to Arnaud's comment, it is important to instruct your version control/configuration management software to treat ".mdl" files as binary. Although the ".mdl" files are technically text, some version control/configuration management systems will try to automatically merge text files to resolve merge conflicts and this doesn't work well with ".mdl" files.
