These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. -CVS (One of the first RCS, I think most projects are moving away from this one.) - Subversion-(pretty popular right now, but it is a client/server model.) -Git (originally created for Linux and now used by several very large projects) -Mercurial (this is a big up and coming RCS) -Bazaar (written in Python. Also pretty new. I don't know about Windows support) I have some experience with both Subversion and Mercurial and like them both. Since you're working alone, you'll probably want a distributed rcs, such as Mercurial, Git, and Bazaar, which allow you to do more stuff locally rather than on a central server. Like Chris, I'd suggest Mercurial especially if you're using Windows. Thank you, > > Sam Clark > s...@2000soft.com > > > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > >
