Easy source control?

Vai · 10 Oct 2006 at 20:43

Can anyone recommend an easy to set up and use source control program that will integrate with Visual Studio?

I don't want anything too complex, just something I can use at home for personal projects. The ones I have tried so far all seem to give you hundreds of options which I really do not care about, and just make getting it set up too annoying, I just want to have the standard, checkin/out, branching etc type options

Perforce? Free for single users and integrates with VS iirc.

Thanks, have installed it and it looks very interesting, will give it a more thorough test over the next few days

there is a good comparison of them all here:

Personally I use a mixture of CVS, sccs (yes still) and Visual Source safe at work and subversion at home. I know sccs isn't in the list but I still rate it highly, it just works.

The SourceGear products are excellent. Fast over slow links, reliable and easy to backup as they sit on a SQL backend (Vault does anyway), good suppport, and no messing around to set it up. Free for single developer use too.

Does anyone have any experience with TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN? I've been playing around with VisualSVN and I'm inclined to buy it, as it's only $19. I've given Perforce and it seems fairly good, but is probably overkill for my purposes.

edit: fixed issue
