Having never used a revision-control solution in the past, I installed
TortoiseSVN and the associated SVN Server (local-only) found on
www.tigris.org . I've gotta say... it's been a breeze to setup (I used
the SVN "1-Click Setup" installer), and I've already migrated several of
the projects I'm working on to the repository and tested extractions and
versioning. Pretty slick!

I can't speak for GIT... but if it's mostly command line, with 130+
switches, I think I'll pass.
