source code version control recommendation?

mpark

Looking for something to help me keep track of changes to my programs. It's just me, not a team thing, if that helps.

Must run on Windows, hoping for free and easy to use.

Put the date in the top of the program along with a version number. If you want to see what program is in the chip make it into a debug statement.

I use subversion here. It integrates nicely with mplab on windows and is a doddle to use from a cmd prompt. I believe tortoise-svn is a nice pointy/clicky windows client also.

The other great thing about subversion is it manages the CR/LF issues across the various platforms.

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should use WD40.

I use Perforce at work and it's by far my favorite version control software, and I've used quite a few over the years. It's free for up to 2 users and up to 5 client workspaces.
They have command line support, a full windows gui client, and also support for other platforms (mac, linux, and several unix flavors). I can't imagine using anything else really.

This is one of those items that the Parallax tool should consider taking care of in their prop tool.
A CON level 'variable' that can inserted into compiles.
It auto increments when the top level object is saved and is passed up or down between referenced objects and can be included in the file nomenclature.
