File Based Version Control System with VS2010 Integration

Question

I'm looking for a source control system that I can use for personal projects. I have two laptops and a desktop I develop on and a flash drive for portability. Rather than keeping all my code on my flash drive I want to check it out / in on the machine I'm working on at the time.

I'm specifically looking for something file based that integrates with VS2010, not an internet / network / server based source control system.

I was hoping for something free, but could afford something reasonably cheap.

Any thoughts?

Regards

Tristan

Have you looked at GIT?

It is a distributed SCM, meaning there is no server.

As for using it with visual studio - see this SO question and answers.

Git, or any other DVCS, like Mercurial, Bazaar. There's nice UI for Mercurial called TortoiseHG. – liori Nov 01 '10 at 13:42

VisualSVN seems to have support for Visual Studio 2010 and is a breeze to use. As far as SVN itself goes, it does not need a server to operate: it can work off USB drive just fine.

Remember to back your flash drive, though.

Nice. I tried GIT, but after about 6 hours, gave up and found SVN to do the job much better. :) – Tristan Nov 08 '10 at 15:50

Well, you're looking for Plastic SCM Community Edition.

It is totally integrated with Visual Studio
Shell Extension too (like TortoiseSVN and so on)
Check the branch per task cycle
Diff and merge tools with refactor support

So definitely something to look at.
