SCM-Manager

SCM-Manager is a cool Jetty based HTTP-server for managing your source code repositories. Just one single mangement instance for dealing with various SCMs which makes it a lot easier to maintain your projects.

SCM-Manager supports Mercurial, Git, and Subversion. You can manage all your users and their permissions very easily.  Of course SCM-Manager also provides bridges for different kinds of authentication like PAM, LDAP and Active Direcotry.

With a bunch of plugins  and the possibilty to write your own plugins there are basically no limitations with this great software. Highly recommended is the Jenkins plugin which allows to inform your CI whenever there are changes on your repo so there is no need for dump polling.
