In my continual search for VCS, I came across SourceGear Vault (http://www.sourcegear.com/vault/index.html) today. It allows a single license free. Also, I ran into Perforce (http://www.perforce.com/) which allows a free 2 user license.
My main reasons for looking past Subversion, which I currently use, is excellent IDE integration and the main one is being able to search a repository for files that contain a certain word (keyword) or whatever.
Anyone had any experience with either?

Nope.

Kerry,
Thanks for that - really :D
-
Me neither. (Sorry Glenn) :)
But, I think it will be helpful - at the moment, when I'm coding I try and remember to make a .rar'd copy of the work I've done that day and then email it to myself, so if something goes awry the following day, I can always revert to the previous evening's version.
This (http://www.ericsink.com/scm/source_control.html) seems like a good place to start/read up on why I need source control - what do the rest of you recommend? EDIT: Aside from Glenn's suggestions above of course?

lmao!
Thank you Kerry and Glenn; i needed that.
Not really different but could be a cool option non the less; you can ask Mark if SVN is still up and running on theSwamp server.
-
Thanks Se7en, I might just do that.
One problem is that I have two machines on separate networks; one of which doesn't have internet access. So a solution for my needs would need to be t'internet free. At least for one of the machines anyway. :-o

our San Diego .net programmer got us using sourcegear vault.
I think you will like it.

Ah, im pretty sure that you have a SVN repository on a USB stick but read the FAQ to be sure. [ http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ ]

James,
Spill it - what's your expreiences with it? The good, the bad and the ugly.

Actually 7, upon Chuck's recommendation in our last discussion on this, I did exactly that. I think it's called FSFS in SVN terms, but I might be mistaken - it's essentailly just a folder on the drive and not using any 'service' to control access or what-have-you, seeing as it's just me. I used this for months, but then got sick and tired of having to plug the 'stick' into each machine I was on.
I then looked at MSN Mesh to get away from the "'stick' o' goodness" (too many quotes there I know) and it's really pretty good. I created my repository in a folder that Mesh was replicating; Mesh then just copies this to the 'cloud' when anything changes. When I get to work in the morning, the Mesh client there replicates what's in the cloud to that box as I've added it to my 'Mesh'.
Apart from my reasons stated above, I really like the idea of having a document being versioned with sequential numbers, rather than what SVN (Subversion) does and use a unique number for the entire source code repository as a snapshot.
Maybe it's just me...
Vege, knavel gaze upon this thread (http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=24740.0), which contains Chucky Baby's recommendations, as I mentioned above, as well as a lot of other intelligent discourse on the subject.

Mesh? Never heard of it. *click-click* Cool! ...I would like to take a brief moment to officially thank you because, well let's face it, you make me look good.

...and have been doing so for quite some time now I might add :evil: :-D
You're welcome 7. I think it's quite good; I wonder when it will get out of Beta...

Just tried to check out mesh - And our Websense server responded with "Computer says no".
-
Speaking of Mesh, it seems like it offers the same (or similar) features to that offered up by www.dropbox.com (http://www.dropbox.com) (which by the way I used earlier to receive some Inventor 2010 .NET code from a dev. over @ Autodesk China)
Based on the article (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/work/XTortoiseSVN.aspx?display=Print) in the thread Glenn pointed me to I think I'm going to try out TortoiseSVN, since I already had it installed (for reasons I can't quite remember - but possibly to do with Google Wave, OpenFire & OpenSSL).

I have not used it enough to really know the vault prog.
I am passing on recommendations based on a good programmer I knew, that had me using it for a while.
We had a talk about why it was his choice, and I recall agreeing, but it was long ago enough that I forget the details.
