I’m in the process of setting up a new site that will involve modifying a number of files to the CMS I will be using (both core and 3rd party) to get it to work exactly the way I need.
Aware of some of the issues this will raise, I’m looking for advice on the best way to document any changes I make (when the changes were made, what the changes were, and why they were made). It would also be useful to have the ability to create a ‘todo list’ of issues and bugs that I need to look at.
Although I am no developer, I assume that this is what tools such as CVS and Bitkeeper are intended to achieve (in combination with issue/bug tracking tools). However, these offer a level of functionality and complexity far beyond my needs (as do all the other code management utilities that Google has thrown up).
So, are there any Windows based applications that offer the functionality I am looking for? Naturally, open source or freeware would be preferred.
Or, are there other ways to achieve what I am looking for?
