I will be using this for managing personal projects which are small or at most medium size

Here's what I do:

• Work sites include home linux computer(s), home Windows XP virtual machine, work Windows XP laptop

• Subversion as a common SCM platform -- works "out of the box" on most Linux distros and easy to get for Windows

  • googlecode for personal CPAN modules

  • Some shared projects (e.g. Strawberry Perl) in Alias' Phase-N repository

  • Personal subversion repository on a network available machine for utility scripts, dotfiles, vim settings, notes, etc.

• SVK as my common tool on all platforms

  • svk pull and svk push make merging to and from the master easy on each computer -- no need to manually track merge points; still have to remember to push from each location when done working there

  • local repository mirror on the laptop means I can work offline and still check work in periodically as features are implemented and tested (safety net)

• Subversion command line client on all platforms

• TortoiseSVN on Windows as well
