in reply to Version Control II

is SVN still the favourite?

Depends who you ask, but many people seem to be moving to git.

Are there any new contenders?

Many. But git seems to be getting all the best press currently.

    Thanks for the information, I will research your suggestions.
    If I am the principle developer, does distributed VCS still hold the same advantages?

    Simplicity is key for me, really I just want to be able to track version changes and have an accompanying annotated log for those changes.

      Not all of them, but having the whole history on your machine is quite useful when you're offline, and can't reach your svn server.

      then maybe darcs would be better than git for you.

        Who am I to argue with Linus Torvalds?!

        I think i will go with git, i think the local repositiry and the flexibility for merging and comparing make it the winner for me!

        Thanks for your advice.
