What source control system? [closed]

Question

I desperately need source control to manage projects between more than one developer.

A long time ago I used Visual Source Safe and it worked quite well.

What free substitutes can be recommended? I have the following basic requirements:

• I need to host the repository on my own server.
• I do not want extra clutter within my source files, like CVS does.
• I need proper check in / check out, so that nobody can change a module until I've checked it back in.
• I don't want / need source code merging / branching.

We use Delphi for web development, so many HTML files, images, SQL files, etc.

Any recommendations?

Answer 1

Git or Mercurial.

• both are distributed and fast (each repository can act as 'server')
• no extra clutter just one .git or .hg directory
• you can pull changes from trusted or verified sources
