Absolutely right!
The sentence is in the subjunctive mood because it's a hypothetical situation, so WERE is correct, and WAS is not. Well done!
I'd like to claim that was a test to see if anyone was paying attention, but no - it was a fine example of my inability to speak my native tongue correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll stick with my rubber duck.

It is widely known (thanks to formal education) that focussing on something else (or relaxing, or sleeping) sometimes helps.

Not sure if there's a forum for this. If so, I'll move it.
I'm working on a C# WPF app, and I need to get it under source control. The solution has projects specific to the app, as well as references to projects in my framework in other locations. So not all the projects are in the same solution folder. The other projets also need to be under source control.
I need to set up a repo, and get the code checked in. I first tried using SVN on my server, but when I would try to commit at the solution level I got a message saying "Cannot perform commit because the targets are in different repositories". I can commit individual projects, but not the solution.
I've never used Git before, and I'd like to give it a try.
- Where do I get/create a repo?
- Is there a Getting Started tutorial?
Right now, I'm not interested in any other features other than source control. And, I need this pretty quick. So if this is going to take a week to set up, I'll have to find another option.
BTW, Is TFS still up & running. Is that an option?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

I use Git at home and make use of Git Extensions which is a UI for Git, a bit like TortoiseSvn for SVN(which I use at work).
There will be plenty of tutorials out there on Git but you should be able to get up and running with Git Extensions without a tutorial as I think it's fairly easy to understand and use UI.

How is that set up?
Where is the code hosted at?

I use Git in my own personal projects.
I host the repositories locally as well as using github to share some projects online.
So every once in a while I will push my local repository to the Github repository.
Git Extensions interfaces very easily with Github allowing you to push changes directly up to your Github repos.
I am guessing from your original post that version control is something that's fairly new to you.
Is that correct?

This sound like you're saying that you 'occasionally' push changes to the server? If so, the code never leaves your PC? Isn't that a bit dangerous?

Not at all
Git & Github are new to me
