Which Version Control for Drupal?

Question

I am starting to need to work on bigger sites and with multiple people so I know I need to start using some kind of version control. GRRR. While I understand and use Features and Context to put config info into code instead of the DB, I am still confused about what version control system I should use? Is there any advantage to using GIT? or Subversion? Especially in terms of workflow.

I am still pretty new to version control "conceptually" and practically so I am not even sure what I need to setup. I'd like to be able to use version control locally as well.

Answer 1

I'd like to be able to use version control locally as well.

In that case use Git or some other DVCS . SVN is centralized and will not allow you to make any local commits.

I would also suggest Git for the reasons listed on whygitisbetterthanx.com (branching and local commits), this however is subjective.
