Git looks like a pretty quick, predictable option. Neat features:
-single repository in your root
-branching easy
-can push~pull from other repositories
-content vs. file based ~ In my mind I think this may mean it is faster ~ smaller
Differences from SVN:
-Folders remain 'uncolorized' until you actual content(remember Git is
'content' based.
Quick startup:
-Install Git and TortoiseGit
-Make a repository with Git GUI or ToroiseGit
Note:
Git provides 'Git Bash'(unix) and 'Git GUI' (simple point~click interface). However, my preference is TortoisGit. It hooks to Windows explorer and is pretty much _identical_ to TortoiseSVN.
