TFS is pretty bad, although it got a lot better with the last two versions.
The most convincing reason to use it is that it integrates great into Visual 
Studio and is kind of the default source control for VS.NET.

A year ago I got interested in Distributed Source Control, looked into 
git and mecurial, and downloaded and tested Mercurial with the 
TortoiseHg GUI interface.  I was positively impressed, and am still 
using it, although sporadically because I'm no longer actively programming.

1. The Distributed model has huge advantages for an independent because 
there is no 'official' repository; you can join forces with another 
developer, located somewhere else, on a temporary basis and still keep 
everything together.

2. I understand Git is used by the Linux crowd, while Mercurial is used 
by the Mozilla folks.  IOW, Git is geekier.  So I tried Mercurial.

3. The Tortoise front end, available for Git, Mercurial, ans Svn, is 
very good.  A marvelous feature is a Windows Explorer mod that puts 
little red and green dots on files that have been modified and have/have 
not been committed.

4. I paid particular attention to possible VFP problems, and simply 
didn't have any.  Yes, the form and report files don't display as simple 
text in the difference views (because they're not), but they are 
detected properly and controlled properly, and that's what matters.

Try them.  They're free and they work.

I used Subversion combined with a hacked-up scctext.prg (my scX project) that 
did
true 2-way binary-to-text conversion of the files so that I could do diffs and
merges. I still use it today for one remaining legacy VFP project but haven't 
been
developing scX for the better part of a decade now, and I don't recommend it 
for that
reason. I hear there is a more modern attempt at this and can't comment on it
personally because I haven't use it.

All my new source control is in git.

In general, I recommend you get away from the mentality of having integrated 
source
control, and learn to put the source control into your work stream manually, 
where it
makes sense. Here's my typical workstream:

1) sit down to work for a couple hours on a project
2) open a terminal and:
  cd 
  git pull (or svn update)
  git status (or svn status)  ## make sure I didn't leave modified files around
3) work the couple hours
4) review with tools like git/svn diff
5) git commit -a (or svn commit)
6) git push (not necessary in subversion)

The git workflow is simplified above, as there's much more you can do 
(branching is
very powerful in git, for example). I'm merely showing the simplest (and most
typical, for me at least) workflow.

Git is a much better product than Subversion for a few key reasons (speed, true
distributed source control, community acceptance). Git is actually simpler than
Subversion once you've worked with it for a little bit, however Subversion is 
still a
good choice in my opinion. I'm totally happy leaving my legacy stuff on 
Subversion.

I used (tried to use) Visual SourceSafe way back maybe 1999 and thought I must 
have
been simply misunderstanding the product since everyone was recommending it and 
kept
trying again and again but I came to the conclusion that it is one big stinking 
pile
of crapware. It was crap then compared to CVS, and now CVS is crap compared to
Subversion, yet you say Microsoft is still peddling Visual SourceSafe?

So, find the current vfp project that does what I was doing with scX only 
better and
more current, and decide to go with either git or subversion, and don't look 
back.
Other people have figured out all the hard parts for you by now, you merely 
need to
learn how to hook all the pieces together in a workflow that makes sense for 
you.

Paul

I recall Ed Leafe telling me about Tortoise SVN I thought many moons 
ago.  ??  At my current day gig, we had been using SourceGear's Vault, 
which seemed fine to me, but now we're using Team Foundation Server at 
the corporate HQ (and I suppose I'll be getting on board that any day 
now too with a new project to check in).

Seeing as you have a MSDN license it might be worth looking into

I'm also using VSS at the moment, but also like to back that up with a disk 
copy every couple of months.  I just modify a batch file to include the stuff I 
want, then this gets copied to a server that gets backed up and I zip it up 
there, test the zip file and done.  Any large mods on a form say and I will go 
to the next number myform1 myform2 etc.  Then your new version can't screw up 
the old one.

I do find VSS a bit clunky and had a brief look round when I went to windows 7 
but nothing struck me as easy to use where I could also import the VSS data.  
Maybe I'll have to review them again.

I'm also using VSS at the moment, but also like to back that up with a 
disk copy every couple of months.  I just modify a batch file to include 
the stuff I want, then this gets copied to a server that gets backed up 
and I zip it up there, test the zip file and done.  Any large mods on a 
form say and I will go to the next number myform1 myform2 etc.  Then 
your new version can't screw up the old one.

I do find VSS a bit clunky and had a brief look round when I went to 
windows 7 but nothing struck me as easy to use where I could also import 
the VSS data.  Maybe I'll have to review them again.

I've been using Subversion with Christof's TwoFox tool to convert the
binary files to and from text. A lot of people swear by git, but it doesn't
make as much sense to me as svn does. YMMV, of course.
