Local SCM

Hi folks! I work for a company as developer and all the source control management in my team relies on Team Foundation Server installed on our lan. I work from my laptop and sometimes I spend a lot of days working outside the office. For internal policies, our Team Foundation Server is not available from outside. I would like to have some kind of local lightweight Source Control Management. I know CVS, subversion, etc. but I don’t need all those features like http server, several users, …. I only need some basic features like versioning, branching, diffs, … to manage my daily coding. When I’m at the office I’ll submit my changes to TF Server. Dows anyone know some kind of app like this? Cheers, vSoares

Setup a Subversion server on your laptop. You don't have to make it publicly accessible or anything like that, just let the repostiory and the server live on the laptop itself. I don't think you're going to find anything that supports versioning and branching with a single-user-only environment.

Tortoise is a good choice. As you mentioned you probably wouldn't use all the features available but it's a good choice in terms of reliability. I don't know of any light-weight source control management that is reliable. And anyway I don't consider Tortoise a heavy resource consumer.

One thing people haven't brought up specifically about tortiseSVN is that it has a local mode where you can just create a repository in a directory and use that without installing a server, I'm not up on the details of that since I've only used it with a server. One other thing is that it uses .svn directories to manage change data so you will have to make sure you don't end up adding those folders to tfs. On the other hand no additional data is added to the projects and you don't have to check any files out so it should integrate well with tfs.

SourceGear's Vault[^] has a free, unlimited evaluation mode limited to a single user. It's only if you need multiple users that you have to buy a licence (or get a demo licence if you want to evaluate with multiple users).

I have already used it and it's pretty good. I just wanted something without having to install a service taking up on system resources. A client tool with direct connection to the database is the perfect solution. Probably I’ll install Vault or some other SCM tool like subversion. Thanks for the reply vSoares

Perforce[^] is very good and TFS is based on Perforce's depot system.
