title: Local Source control repository - cross platform
body: <p>I am looking for a 'local' source control software, I don't need it to be necessarily available on network.. Its meant to be only for personal use..
  What I am looking for is something like:</p>
  
  <p>Need it to be cross platform. The biggest problem is, I need the same local repository to be available on both windows and Linux! (Is this even possible? :s ) I dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu and have managed to setup workspace that works in both OS without changes, now I need a source control software!</p>
  
  <p>Easy installation, I have never installed one before! :) </p>
  
  <p>And Has eclipse plugin..</p>
  
  <p>I have used VSS for this purpose before, but that is only on Windows!
  I looked for Mercurial, but I am not sure if I can use the same repository on both the OS!
  Any suggestions are appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: Thanks for your replies.. Yes I do want the same repository to be accessed from different operating systems.. Everyone has suggested an on-line repository but I 'need it to be local'.. Internet is not something I can depend on (I now know git takes care of this..! :)), I would not want version of, say my personal recordings of some home functions tweaked in audacity, to be hosted on-line! Right now, I am trying out git, as a local repository solution..</p>
