title: Source control alternatives to TortoiseSVN for a one man developer, only local usage
body: <p>I've never used source control before (always used renaming files and other methods), so I was looking around for a relatively simple solution, to start me off with. I was looking for</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>something simple</li>
  <li>with a GUI interface (along with a command line one)</li>
  <li>relatively used</li>
  <li>has books on the subject (most important)</li>
  <li>can take Word files along in it as well</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>and I found TortoiseSVN. What would be the possible alternatives to it, considering the above ?</p>
  
  <p>p.s. Yes, I know this has been asked to death, so if you know of an answered question, please, just refer me to it. I'm making this a community wiki, so it doesn't get closed in the first minute, and then I'll just probably delete it, so it doesn't create redundancy.</p>
