Source control software

[shantzg001]

Hi all

Was just wondering that what software (preferably freeware) you use for source code control/version control on your PCs for personal use.
Is there any such software that doesnt take up too much harddisk space /ram space and is good enuff for small projects that dont span more than 20-30 files...

Why don't you try subversion?

@piopawlu: Thnx for the reply. I was also leaning towards subversion after doing a bit of reading on the web. But I had a question:
The Subversion FAQ says that on windows, only client can be installed. Am I correct in thinking that only having a client will allow me to have version control on my local PC. (I dont want remote access)

You still need to install the server to gain sourcecontrol on your computer.

I used this tutorial to install it on my Windows Vista computer:

Hi..I got it working..thnx a lot..

@t0flus: Actually I got the sourcecontrol without installing the server.. I think the server part is needed only if you need to access the repository from multiple computers...
