Hello I need a good SCM with integration in Visual Studio 2010 and ability to work over internet, I mean other users should be able to checkin/checkout files through internet/network. I saw Git and its Extensions but I had problem with VS Integration. Its toolbar buttons and menu items didn't respond to my clicks, it just did nothing. I tried reinstalling it several times but without success. If you have a solution on this issue, please let me know. Also a big advantage would be to use that SCM with my Qt projects, Qt Cr开发者_运维技巧eator supports both mercurial and git. So what would suggest? which one should I choose?

I would strongly suggest git.

Git is by far the more popular of the two so if you're looking to get people interested in collaborating on an open source project git is an attractive selling point. I've also worked with mercurial and subversion repositories and I've found git to be easiest to use and mercurial the most difficult.

Also, if you're looking to setup a free git repository you should go to github.com. For mercurial try code.google.com .

Hope my opinion helps, good luck!
