Version Control

[rmasonjr]

I'm developing a plugin and have already found the need to have good version control. What VCS are folks using for plugin development?

Ideally, I'd like something that has a plugin to Visual Studio so that check out/in is seamless.

Personally I use subversion for everything on the back end, with AnkhSVN for Visual Studio, MagnetSVN for Office documents, and TortoiseSVN for everything else.

All of those are free except MagnetSVN, which is free in beta.

nice tip , thank you

I have loaded VisualSVN Server on the backend, but the VisualSVN plug-in for Visual Studio doesnt work with the express versions. I got a response back from support to that effect. So, I'm thinking TortoiseSVN now...

Thanks!

Sorry, didn't state that. I'm using the Team edition and you're right, the plugin I mention above won't work with the express version. TortoiseSVN will, but it's a little more of an effort.

Same here, except I don't use Magnet since I have very little need for Office documents.
