    Any other recommendations then? It has to be open-source (i.e., free). :)

    Nope. I can't recommend anything that is free in this genre. The absolute BEST version control software I've ever used was StarTeam. Unfortunately, it's expensive as hell (if it;'s even still available).

      Git would be the alternative to Hg. IIRC Hg's got a better windows toolchain while GITs is better for Linux (might have something to do with it being Linus's brainchild :rolleyes: ).

        I've used StarTeam. I'll have to agree that it's relatively easy to use.

          Any suggestions? I need it for a Win7 64-bit machine. I've narrowed it down to Slik and VisualSVN. No Visual Studio integration. I Just need a stand-alone version control system.

          Then use TortoiseSVN, not VisualSVN. Besides, it's cheaper We use both and both have been solid

            I'd say definitely go with TortoiseSVN. Single download and install and you have everything you need to connect to your SVN server. Works really well.

            Don't have a server per se. I have three Win7 computers accessing data on a fourth.

              Thanks! I'll look into it. My other issue is I don't have a server. Just three Win7 computer sharing data on a fourth. No server, no domain.

                That's fine - however you have your SVN repository setup should be ok. TortoiseSVN is a free Windows app that will let you access your SVN repository. And the download contains everything you need to do that, its very easy to use, etc. imo its the way to go if you're using SVN.

                  How are you planning on hosting your SVN repository? I believe you can use straight file:// access but they advise against this from what I've read. Anyway, assuming you somehow get an SVN repository setup, TortoiseSVN is a good client.

                    I'm not sure yet. I haven't been able to set it up correctly since my lab is a little ad-hoc.
