Spike Milligan is at WW2 Conscription intake centre. Officer asks "Where you born Milligan". "India, sir", Milligan briskly replies. "Which part" asks the officer. To which Spike replies "All of me, sir".

Tortoise. We don't use it with Visual Studio, but it integrates very well with Windows Explorer. Very easy and intuitive to check in / out.

SourceGear Vault[^] has top notch Visual Studio integration, and it is free for a single developer license. If you need to add multiple developers there is a license fee, but it is very reasonable. I looked at Subversion, but I was immediately put off by the hassle of loading separate pieces of software to have Visual Studio integration. SourceGear, on the other hand, is made to interact with Visual Studio, and is extremely easy to install and configure. If you are used to working with VSS, this will feel very familiar (only better). I'm currently using it with Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. I have a repository setup locally on my machine for my own pet projects, and one on my client's machine that I connect to remotely for their development. Remote connection works seemlessly via IIS and webservices. In addition to a full featured client software, there is also a web admin tool that allows you to maintain user accounts, setup repositories, view code and check-ins, and run reports. It's nice to be able to print a report that shows how much work has been done in the last week of development. I also find the "differences" comparison tool to be very useful in showing the current version of a document side by side with the previous version, with changes highlighted. http://www.sourcegear.com/vault/[^] Jordan

SourceGear Vault Can be run either as a standalone client, web-interface or integrated. The standalone client is also a bit schizophrenic and can be run either in VSS mode (check out/edit/check in) or CVS mode (edit/merge/commit).

...Is any client that stays well away from Visual Studio. (I have yet to see a source control system integrated with VS that actually does what i want: stay completely out of my way 'till i'm done working. For SVN, i use Tortoise... )
Nothing can beat TortoiseSVN. All Linux guys - who've been on Windows before - are crying when they find our that Tortoise is Windows only

I had the same sentiments before I tried Visual SVN (plugin for VS). It really does stay out of your way, as well as give you a good overview of what has changed, etc. For a measly $49, it's well worth its price.

Why is visual studio integration required? Although not their latest versions, I have used both ankh and VisualSVN, and could not match the consistency, reliability or feature set that TortoiseSVN offers. Unfortunately I am now in Ubuntu land, and have to go back to the stone ages and use a command line... honestly though, command line isn't bad either.

There is "SVN Workbench" (based on Python) in Ubuntu - look for pysvn-workbench. Not as good as TortoiseSVN, since no integration is provided, and some bits are missing like recursive add... But in my view, better than command line

Visual SVN is the best plugin I've seen so far. http://www.visualsvn.com/[^] It's not free, but it's cheap ($49 for single lincense, $465.5 for 10 licenses).

If you have something to say, then say it. Otherwise, keep your drooling to yourself.

What's so funny in his post? Would you mind sharing the humor with others?

Well said for a mouth-breather, I suppose. His comment made me laugh first because he can't tell the difference between "stays out of the IDE" and "gets right up in that mother". Next it made me laugh because he thinks $49 is "well worth" what better options do for free. At the time, I chose not to elaborate so clearly because that would be cruel to dumb animals, but since he chose to hypocritically insult me while also saying nothing useful (and you enthusiastically supported that), what the hell? You're both idiots. He he he. Keep the laughs coming. :-)
Codemonkeys don't do it at all. Too busy coding.

I agree, TortoiseSVN is good. Nice easy interface.

He asked you for an explanation, so give it to him. If you have to talk to me, then first stop behaving like a troll. And people who ask you to give an explanation (in place of your meaningless posts) are mouth breathers, dumb animals, and idiots?! So, you have absolutely no point to contribute to the discussion, but you're trying to be abusive to gain some attention. How about me sending your useless post where it belongs to, by voting it abusive?
