Hi All, I'm building an automated promotion utility for TFS. One of the features I'd like to support is rolling back the latest change.

I am mentoring the programming group of a high school robotics team. I would like to set up a source control repository to avoid the mess of manually copying directories for sharing/backups and merging these by hand.
