Hi, I'm sure this has been asked before but my question is a little different. I have these files that I'm working with huge data. Some of the data files are more than 2 gigs. I just jumped into this project and all edits have just been on one file. We also have 2 computers and those files aren't in sync all the time. The code is written in IDL using two different versions of IDL. I downloaded Mercurial but was so confused on how to use it because I want to set up a system where if a file is edited we would know about it can why it was edited. Also so we can refer back to it if our program doesn't work anymore. I heard that you can set up a local server and just access the files through there. Is this a good route to go and which program would be easiest? Thanks!
I'd say this is subjective ;) I for example find Git much more easier.

Can you give me a link to svn please? I googled "svn" and was confused to as which one it is? Also Felix Kling, is Git the one that's online? Thanks!

You can't go wrong in the case of SVN or Git. There are bridges available.

If you're on Windows, look for TortoiseSVN. There's also an SVN plugin for Eclipse IDE. Here's a more or less comprehensive list of SVN clients: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Subversion_clients
