Hey guys,

Was just wondering if anyone could recommend a good version control system to use with VC++ 6.0?

I've used the Subclipse (Subversion) plug-in for Eclipse, and found it really useful, but am not sure if it can be used in VC++.

Any thoughts?

Cheers
 
For free? Or are you going to fork out money for it?

I don't know of any source control plugins for VC++ that you can get without paying for, except SourceSafe (which I'm assuming you got with it?) and I wouldn't use SourceSafe if you paid me. This isn't actually the worst of things since source control plugins for VC++ are, well, poor at best.

f you are going to be paying money, just get Perforce and be done with it.

What I tend to do these days is just use a seperate source control client and check in/out as needed manually. It's a perfectly workable solution.
 
Preferably for free - being a student and all! :P

To be honest, I don't know much about all of this, as SVN was mostly set up for me by someone else, and I just used the basics... anywhere I can find out more about what you suggested?

Thanks
 
Well, you'll need a stand alone client - Tortoise SVN is one. Just google it.

Wikipedia seems to have a pretty detailed page on Subversion that might be worth you looking over.
 
Subversion is fantastic and has front-ends for loads of different IDEs on different operating systems (Subclipse for Eclipse, TortoiseSVN for Windows shell integration, Ankh for Visual Studio, etc.) I use TortoiseSVN myself.
 
Another version for SVN... though I use the linux one bash prompt front end, a gui version on windows is just as good!
 
SVN is by far the best I have tried out of (SVN,CMVC,Darcs and CVS).
