I'd like to try out a distributed revision control system. I use a couple Windows PCs, a couple PCs with Linux, and a Mac. On windows, I'd like to use Tortoise.
Are any of the Tortoises other than TortoiseSVN any good? Until recently, the knock against them has been that they are slow and buggy, but it seems like there's a new push to get them solid.
I'd rather not have to try out all three. Anyone make the switch lately and have a good experience?
I've been using TortoiseGit for a while. Whilst it's true that git's performance suffers on windows, it's going to be perfectly acceptable in most situations. Of the three that you mentioned, Git certainly has the most polished "Tortoise", in my opinion. And if you're used to using TortoiseSVN, the transition to Git should be pretty smooth, as TortoiseGit is based upon the TortoiseSVN code base and reuses a lot of it's UI and design principles.
