Free distributed source control with visual studio integration?

Question

I'm looking to move to distributed source control since I use multiple computers and often work offline. What if any distributed source control systems integrate with visual studio and how good is the integration?

Answer 1

Have you considered using Git? You can host open source projects on github for free.

For integration please refer to Using Git with Visual Studio which indicates it is possible.

Answer 2

I'm not sure about integration with VS but I have used the excellent Tortoise Windows Explorer plugins. We use Tortoise-CVS and SVN all the time and they are fast and reliable.

They do a Tortoise-Hg plugin for Mercurial as well.

Answer 3

It may sound funny, but I rarely use my VS integration even though I have one.

Tortoises and command line work great, and Bzr and Hg have workable tortoises.
