Interesting.  I've been using Tortoise SVN.  Anyone used both, and can give a comparison?

Thanks for letting us know about this, app!

Kyrathaba: I've never used Git before, but after hearing Linus Torvalds speak about it, he definitely converted me from SVN to a distributed source control system. I've been using Mercurial, since Git isn't/wasn't really friendly towards Windows users.

For more information about Mercurial vs. Git, see this thread: http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=21512.0

See specifically the second post in the thread, which talks about why Mercurial is preferred over Git by the author.
