Tools for version control

As a professional coder I use several tools. One of the most important of these tools is the version control system.

I use version control for keeping track of the source code of my programming projects. It makes it easy to mark when the code works, and track down changes when I notice that something is broken.
For several years I have used the version control system Subversion with satisfying results. Earlier this year I heard about another version control system named Git.
The main advantage of Git is that it is a decentralized version control system. This means that a network connection to the central repository is not required (which is the case for subversion).

To learn more about Git take a look at the references below.

Good luck with your version control!

Todonotes

In July the first version of the todonotes package were uploaded to the CTAN network [1]. After that I have received several requests for improvements, some have already been addressed and others are waiting to get time for implementing. To secure the source of the package I have started to use the github.com service, which allow open source projects to get free source code version control using the git software. The repository can be found at [2].
