Thanks for all reply. I like the subversion since it is a nice tool running both on window and linux. I looked git and svk and it seems they are only running on linux and I am uisng windowXP. I really hope that svk can become more stable and mature and runs on window.
Anyway, here is reason I want to check in the code into a private resository before I merge the code into the office SVN. During the development, I added a lot of codes for debugging in many stages. I want to keep track these changes during the development, so if anything does not work, then I can easily trace back to find a working version. All these debugged codes are not supposed to be checked in to the official SVN. After all debugging steps, I will clean the code and test it. Once it is working, then the final code will be checked into the official SVN. By doing this, I can add debug code, print out the results and will not worry that later I lost track if something I added break the code.
