Help! Theres an Alien in my Brain….

AlienBrain is version control software, and it is giving me a headache. We use it to control and safegaurd our development environment. It allows us to  track changes made, and who made them. In addition to giving  us the comfort and convienence of being able to roll back to any previous build, if some unforseen unfixable problem befalls us. These are all fantastic features, but they are also features that exist on many other platforms. In our last team project we used SVN, and it was vastly superior experience. It didn’t have all the bells and whistles of AlienBrain, (internal email, super helpful, and not just another thing to have to check! :/ ) SVN made getting new builds and integrating a streamlined process, while AlienBrain is so locked down;  making everything read only, and making integration a time consuming and multistep process.  POC is 5 days away and these hang-up are adding undue pressure.
