How to deal with syncing multiple versions of a file from multiple sources?
superboyac:
Seems like SVN is the most popular choice here...
superboyac:
Bazaar is looking appealing to me. It seems to have a nice GUI. All the others are very command line-ish, which I hate.

Haven't checked out Bazaar. May be great, dunno. I have worked with SVN using TortoiseSVN (FOSS). Even I was able to get up to speed on it in a few minutes' time, so you should find it a quick-study, should you choose to go that route.
Stoic Joker:
Once you start getting too many versions of a fine it's almost worse than losing said file. As it becomes an ordeal to figure out which is the correct latest file - With the changes you're looking for.
I'd prefer to keep it simple and leverage the previous version feature that is already built into Windows.

Well, i don't plan on doing this with all files. There are certain files that I will be regularly modifying both at home, at work, and on the run (think a notetaking application that captures clips of stuff you come across). So I need a way to handle that with the minimal amount of manual tuning. Let's say I added some notes to a database on my USB drive, then I go home and capture a couple of notes on the desktop...then I remember I had a couple of new ones on the USB...how do I combine everything?
