Peer to Peer Source Control

Working on a project where we are all working in different places and online at different times and so on.

We are not working on an Open Source project (don't get me started) and most online source control sites seem to be only for OS projects.
Equally, I seem unable to find something that you can install as a peer based cource control system on Windows (I'd rather avoid the 8000 things you have to set up before you can use such things on Linux, after having such fun installing Mono).

So, i'm looking for ideas and pointers. I'd rather not have to develop anything myself, or extend SourceSafe and so on.
Either it is online always and is web based (or at least http/web service accessible) or it is peer based.

Not sure if this fits your needs but you might want to checkout Subversion (a replacement for CVS).

Yeah I second the subversion option. If you go with the Apache route you can even run it over SSL using it's own WebDAV interface meaning will get through those pesky firewalls.

Although it is not peer-to-peer, the best (and cheapest) system I have used is SourceGear Vault. It supports both CVS and Sourcesafe styles of source control and uses web services so is perfect for remote teams. You can find out more about it here: http://www.sourcegear.com. This is probably one of the best pieces of software out there today.

Another vote here for Subversion. You should also check out BitKeeper. There is a free version of BitKeeper but there are restrictions. Read the BK license agreement carefully.

You can take a look at SourceAnywhere, a SQL-based source control system:
