I have moved to a new position where non-programmers sometimes produce snips of code and I have been authorized to better structure their code foundation. However, before I introduce them to a standard version control system, I would like a passive version control system as a stopgap solution so we experience less losses from now on.
I have experience in programming, version control, and Linux or Windows systems administration, however they do not.
I want to know if there is a tool that can monitor a windows shared folder, and on each file change, passively commit the change to a separate repository.
Principles:
- Being a stopgap, something is better than nothing
- Completely transparent to the user
- Can be a kludge
- Preferably SVN or at least using one of the following: CVS, SVN, Git, Mercurial
