Free Software Version Control (3-4 man)

Question

I'd need help for finding a program for software version control with following features: - Multiplataform (Windows and Ubuntu) - Keep our code private (perfect if support private ftp repositories). - Free or cheap for small groups (3-4). - We dont need a big storage capacity - (Optional) Eclipse integration - Automatic notification of updates

We tried Bazaar, it enforces all the rules except the last one, because for password protected repositories sources it only update on demand (asking the password all the times)

Thanks in advance

I'm unclear why you can't use bazaar, is it because you need to give a password all the time? (this can be fixed). What do you mean with "only update on demand" ? — AmanicA, Jul 07 '11 at 21:08

the subclipse plugin for Eclipse works great, the team sync view is perfect http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectProcess;jsessionid=9A92093E118F1B1420C1CDAD0D08E76D?pageID=p4wYuA – vinnyjames Jul 07 '11 at 16:10

Git, Subversion... Eclipse integration is a job for Eclipse, i.e. some plugin.

Git is more powerfull but takes longer to learn.

You always get e-mail when commit happens. Although it's hard form me to imagine why you want to be distracted everytime any of your colleagues does a commit.

Considering Git is now the official VCS used by all Eclipse projects, it would be a nice fit.

The latest Eclipse Indogo 3.7 comes with EGit included: no need to "install" Git.
As this SO answer illustrates, it is fairly complete.
