Version Cue, in my experience, is garbage. I have two systems for two different teams going right now.

**SVN via Cornerstone**  
I've been running a large volume of creative work through SVN via [Cornerstone][1] for Mac for over a year now. It's a very slick and easy to use app that makes VC seem easy. It doesn't provide visual previews of the files like I believe PixelNovel does but our detailed change notes have been more than adequate. Cornerstone has been a very robust solution for the localized team I work in.

**Git via SourceTree**  
I also just begun coordinating a remote team via Bitbucket.org using [SourceTree][2]. Git has a little steeper learning curve at first but it's working well for us. We're essentially following the same principles as the SVN set-up, ie detailed change logs.

**The differences**  
*Git* operates under the model that each user downloads the whole repository (history and all) to their machine. To keep this manageable, it's best to have a separate repository for each project. It's nice to have a repository that's easy to archive and retire when the project is over.

*SVN*, on the other hand, allows the user to checkout the latest version of a directory within a repository. If you want to roll back to a previous version you must connect to the server. This is a good system for a centralized repository that contains all the projects under way. I prefer it for a high volume environment where many simultaneous and often interconnected projects are underway.
