    <p>At my job we make &amp; sell websites. Usually we install our .NET C# based site on a customer's server and maintain and support it remotely. However, every once in a while, for bigger development works and just to make things simpler (and faster!), we will copy the site to a local server.</p> <p>This is great, but has one pain - moving the site back to the customer. Now, If nothing was change on the customer's copy - no problem. However, it is the sad truth that sometime (read more often than I would like) some fixes were needed to be applied on the production server. Either because the customer needed it NOW or simply because it was major bug. </p> <p>I know that you can easily apply those bug fixes to the local copy as well, but this is an error prone process. So I'm setting my hopes on a distributed version control to help synchronize the two copies.</p> <p>Here is what I need:</p> <ul> <li>Easy to install - nothing else needed except the installer and admin rights.</li> <li>Can integrated in an existing website as a virtual directory and works on port 80 - no hassle with new DNS required.</li> <li>Excellent software</li> </ul> <p>That's it. Any ideas?</p> <hr> <h2>Some comments on the answers</h2> <p>First, thanks! much appreciated. </p> <p>I've looked at Mercurial and Bazaar and both look very good. The only caveat is the installation as a virtual directory on IIS. Mercurial, as far as I understand, use a special protocol (wire) and Bazaar needs and addition of python extensions. Is there another system which is easier to integrate with IIS? I'm willing to take a performance hit for that. </p>
