Version Control System Recommendations

[blue_harvester]

We use Subversion in work and this runs on a Linux box, but is there anything out there that can be used on a single machine for non collaborative work i.e. a version of subversion or even CVS that runs on windows? I'd like to get version control running for my own personal projects and don't want to have to set it up on another machine as I develop on a laptop and don't always have access to the net.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

I really rate Subversion both for both small projects (1-4) and much larger ones (5-100 or so). It does indeed have Windows binaries.

Excellent. I notice these binaries do not work with Apache 2.2, this is what I use for my web server, so is it possible to install Apache 2.0 alongside a 2.2 installation?

Yes, though you might need to manually edit the service name for the Apache 2.0 installation and you'll definitely need to make it run on a different port (which is a good idea for SVN anyway).

Alternatively, you could look into the mini server SVNServe (see here for some useful documentation). This avoids having a fairly heavyweight web server running.

Where can I download SVNServ?

Sorry my mistake, just noticed SVNServe is part of the installation package.
