[ale] VCS Suggestions

[Richard Bronosky]

I am very fond of the way that Git allows you to separates the task of
committing and pushing/publishing/syncing/what-ever-you-want-to-call-it.
This allows you to work offline and commit each new feature bug-fix as
its own commit. Then next time you go online (or VPN, or resolve what
every would have stopped you from hitting the server) you push all
your commits up to the server.

Another thing to consider is how many different IDEs you want to plug
into (specifically MSFT VS). The most commonly supported is probably
CVS which is old and terrible. Equally supported, maybe with the
exception of MSFT VS, would be SVN and it is much improved over CVS.

You might do better to tell us what your options with MSFT VS are. I'm
sure not many of us stay up to date on that.
