copied!<p>I think Fog Creek's new product, <a href="http://www.fogcreek.com/Kiln/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>Kiln</strong></a>, will get you pretty close. In response to your specific points:</p> <ol> <li>This is easily done through the web interface -- you don't need to touch your local copy or update. Just find the file you want, click the revision you want to see, and your code will be in front of you.</li> <li>I'm not sure you can do things <em>exactly</em> like "Please save this as version 2.5", but you can add unique tags to changesets that allow you to identify a special revision (where "special" can mean whatever it wants to you).</li> <li><a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>Mercurial</strong></a> does a great job of this already (which Kiln uses in the back end), so there shouldn't be any problems in this regard.</li> <li>By creating different repositories, you can easily have one central 'core' section which is consistent across various projects (though I'm not entirely sure if this is what you're talking about).</li> <li>I think most version control systems allow you to do this...</li> <li>Kiln is hosted, so there's no hit on performance to your local machine. The code you commit to the system is kept <a href="http://kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/3/what-do-you-do-to-make-sure-my-source-code-is-safe" rel="nofollow noreferrer">safe and secure</a>.</li> </ol> <p>Best of all, Kiln is free for up to two licenses by way of their <a href="https://shop.fogcreek.com/FogBugz/default.asp?sCategory=HOSTEDFB&sStep=stepEnterEmailAddress&HFBnForm=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Student and Startup Edition</a> (which also gets you a free copy of FogBugz). </p> <p>Kiln is in public beta right now -- you can request your account at my first link -- and users are being let as more and more problems are already resolved. (For some idea of what current beta users are saying, take a look at the <a href="http://kiln.stackexchange.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Kiln Knowledge Exchange</a> site that's dedicated to feedback.)</p> <p>(Full Disclosure: I am an intern currently working at Fog Creek)</p>
